The City of Sac City has received a generous donation of over 21 acres of woodlands from the United Bank of Iowa, a gift expected to enhance the city’s parks, expand outdoor recreation opportunities, and conserve natural resources. The property is located in the northeast section of town on the east side of the North Raccoon River. Mayor Scott Bundt says, “We are incredibly grateful to United Bank of Iowa for this extraordinary donation. This land will be a tremendous asset to our community, providing a space for residents and visitors to connect with nature, enjoy outdoor activities, and create lasting memories.” The donated land features mature woodlands ideal for hiking, birdwatching, mountain biking, and other recreational activities. City officials intend to integrate the land into its existing park system, potentially adding trails, picnic areas, and other facilities while prioritizing environmental conservation. City Administrator Jamie Lawrence says, “This donation is a testament to the commitment of the United Bank of Iowa to our community. We are proud to partner with such a valued institution to enhance the quality of life for our residents.” The donated land has an estimated assessed valuation of nearly $1 million.
