Woodbury County supervisors, Crittenton Center working to secure grant
WOODBURY COUNTY, Iowa (KCAU) — For the second time, Woodbury County Board of Supervisors are partnering with the Crittenton Center on the application for a Community Development Block Grant from the State of Iowa. The board first approved the request back in February, but the application came back before supervisors on Tuesday after a clerical error prevented approval from the state. The Crittenton Center cares for up to 27 kids every day. Some of those children are involved in the preliminary discussions of the renovations, highlighting what they see as important for the project.

Officals at the Crittenton Center said the project will improve safety for guests, also making it warmer and more welcoming. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

DNR proposes deer hunting regulations for western Iowa
HINTON, Iowa (KCAU) — The Iowa Department of Natural Resources presented new deer hunting regulations for western Iowa through a series of presentations. The goal is to provide hunters the opportunity to give feedback on the proposed regulations. The Iowa DNR said the vast majority of hunters are supporting the proposed regulations as they see less deer when hunting. The DNR added there are multiple reasons for the loss of deer population in western Iowa. 'We've certainly lost a lot of habitat in the last 20 years, mostly in the form of grasslands and timber being lost,' said Jace Elliott, the state deer biologist for the Iowa DNR. 'We've also had some sustained disease outbreaks like EHD and bluetongue have certainly had their bad years here, and the deer population is seeing its effects, and we've also had historically a lot of doe harvest in the past that may have not been sustainable.'

'We're looking at proposing changes to the general any sex tag, as such, and maybe moving more towards a buck only category of tag which is so far been very popular with folks,' said Elliott. The next meeting will take place tomorrow in Sioux Center at the Sandy Hollow Lodge at 6:30 p.m. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
