It is 20,000 dollars more expensive in Boone County for similar type homes than it is in Winnebago County or Rockford.

There are only a few contractors in the county that have this. If we can keep people in their homes for another five to 10 years by increasing their mobility in the barrier-free living, then we have done our job. Anyone can build a house. But I think as time goes on, this is going to be more popular.

We need to get roads built, ... We need to get funding fixed for Boone County. I'd much rather see them spend time on those issues than I would fighting off political battles.

Since it passed (in Story County), they can come over to Boone County and start up a keg shop.

And, that would open the floodgates to many other similar requests in the county, I'm afraid.

If you want a home with three bedrooms, and one to two baths and a one-car garage, that will work. There are even some of these with two garages.
