Spencer, IA (KICD)– The construction season has officially come to an end on the development project on the north side of Spencer.

Engineer Jim Thiesse with Kruse, Cate and Nelson says the warmer temperatures over the past several weeks allowed contractors to complete more work than originally anticipated.

Thiesse says the remaining underground work will pick up again in the Spring, but conversations with the Iowa Department of Transportation regarding turn lanes into the new subdivision from Highway 71 will continue into the winter.

Kwik Star is expected to be the first business to make the subdivision near the North Y home. Construction on that store is planned to begin in June.
