The Guthrie County Board of Supervisor met in regular session Tuesday.

The Board of Supervisors also heard from the Airport Authority, who shared that they’re in the final stages of a design grant for the ramp area on the runway and that the hangars are almost full, with much space being rented out by individuals from the Ankeny and Des Moines areas.
