Greene County has approximately 200 miles of
Portland Cement Concrete paved roads, 950 miles of gravel surfaced
roads and 150 bridges over 20 feet in length.
The Engineer’s Office prepares and submits to
the Iowa Department of Transportation an annual budget, five year
program, and annual report that designate how Greene County funds
its continuing operations and construction projects. Local property
tax collected from the Rural Levy (6% of the total county budget)
represents only 22.5% of the department’s operating budget. The
balance of funding for this department comes from Iowa’s Road Use
Tax collected from gasoline sales throughout the state and Federal
Bridge Replacement monies.
Greene County has 5 maintenance shops throughout the county to
provide services to residents. The staff at these locations
collaborate to maintain services such as: Road Blading & Gravel
Replacement, Snow Removal, Ditch Cleaning, Mowing, Bridge
Maintenance, Sign Maintenance & Traffic Control. |
