CEDAR RAPIDS — It may not be the most glamorous award to some, but Linn County Engineer Steve Gannon said recent recognition of the county’s paving efforts speaks the a commitment to something most residents need — safe and quality roads.Earlier this month, the Linn County Secondary Road Department was recognized at the Iowa Concrete Paving Association’s annual luncheon for becoming just the fourth county in Iowa to complete 200 miles of slipformed concrete paving.Gannon said the county’s dedication to road funding, which includes road use tax funds and a portion of a voter-approved local-option sales tax, are key to Linn County’s success.It took Linn County decades to reach the 100-mile benchmark for slipform paving — which was achieved in 2012.
