Milford, IA (KICD)– The Milford City Council decided to back out of a letter of support for a joint study on Highway 71 through Dickinson County at its regular meeting Tuesday evening.

Mayor Steve Anderson told KICD News says the council was originally approached by Imagine Iowa Great Lakes to complete a study running from Milford through Spirit Lake.

Anderson says the council opted to back away from their original letter of support after members were made aware of a change to the study’s financial ideas.

The City Council voted unanimously to send a second letter to the Department of Transportation noting Milford will not be taking a financial role in this traffic study.
