City Of Exira Is The Next Community Participating In The Homes For Iowa Program
The City of Exira is looking to provide additional housing opportunities to promote continued growth for the community by participating in the Homes for Iowa (HFI) program. City council members approved during the last meeting of a three-bedroom, two-bath, 1200 square-foot pre-fabricated home that will be placed on the city-owned lot located at 200 E Depot St. City officials are just finalizing the HFI pre-order checklist before officially purchasing a home that will be transported to Exira. Viking Construction, based out of Exira, will serve as the head contractor for the project, seeking out bids for the required foundation that is needed to be constructed at the recipient’s expense before delivery. Delivery is expected to take about six months, but with that timeframe landing in the winter months, it is unclear if the home will be fully ready around that time. City Clerk Meg Anderson says the house will be available by late spring 2025. Anderson says the Exira officials will also discuss ownership of the house before completed construction if there is interest. She says the sooner a buyer contacts the city, the better chance for partial customization, specifically the full basement, can be done. Anyone interested in learning more about this program for the City of Exira or to discuss a potential purchase agreement can contact City Hall at 712-268-2187.
