The North Iowa Corridor EDC has announced the launch of a Small Business Recovery & Continuity Fund in partnership with the City of Clear Lake, the City of Mason City, and Cerro Gordo County to provide financial relief to small businesses through the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mayor Nelson Crabb is encouraging the public to fly the American flag as a show of unity during the COVID-19 crisis.

At the conclusion of Monday night’s City Council meeting, Crabb shared that he had received the suggestion from longtime Clear Lake resident Jan Molinsky.
