The City of Nevada, with its Nevada Field House project, was named the 2024 People’s Choice All-Star Community by the Iowa League of Cities. The city was recognized at an Awards Banquet at the League’s Annual Conference & Exhibit, held in Sioux City, Sept. 18-20.
The All-Star Community Award is the most prestigious honor given by the League to cities. Entries are judged by a panel of former city officials and others familiar with municipal government. With one project selected from each of the three population size categories, the remaining projects are entered into a bracket on the League’s Facebook Page. In each round, people can vote for the project they feel is most deserving of the award, with the winners moving on to the next round.
This year’s two finalists were Garner and Nevada. In the end, Nevada ‘garnered’ more votes than the competitor’s ballfield project.
The Nevada Field House is an incredible amenity for the community. The Field House is designed to serve all ages from very young to older adults. With a three-lane walking track, unique playground, turf fields, gymnasium, meeting spaces and more, the Nevada Field House is truly a multi-generational gathering place for all residents.
The facility has grown the recreation, exercise, and communal options available in Nevada year-round.
This year’s other All-Star Community Award winners were Bondurant, Burlington, and Monroe.
