Cascade, IA City Council
Meetings, agendas, minutes, and officials — the primary record of local decisions on the project.
City approvals and permits are part of the Simple Mining process, and Cascade runs its own municipal utility (CMU), so council and board records are key primary documents. Watch agendas and minutes for items related to the industrial park, zoning, and utilities.
