OTTUMWA — The Market Street Gateway project in Ottumwa is officially underway. This project consists of brick pillars with an overhead sign announcing entrance into the downtown district. The sign will use salvaged roof trusses from the Ottumwa Coliseum, bringing a part of Ottumwa’s past into a modern addition to the downtown area. This project is funded by the Ottumwa Legacy Foundation and is anticipated to be completed by the end of August 2025. Look for announcements of any closures associated with the installation of this project.
