Spencer, IA (KICD)– The Spencer City Council gave final approval last week to sell two vacant properties on the east side of town to Habitat for Humanity.

After the resolution passed unanimously newly installed Executive Director for Northwest Iowa Corridor Habitat for Humanity Joe Bjornstad noted this is an important piece to the relationship that has been formed with the city.

The first house, which will occupy land at 601 6th Avenue East, is expected to be completed by the end of 2025 with the second structure, 617 East 10th Street, planned for late 2026.
