If all goes well, Iola’s Recreation Community Building at Riverside Park will be ready for the public by early summer.

Iola City Council members are expected to look at bids April 22 to redo the flooring inside the building, which has been closed to the public since it was flooded in October.

From there, Assistant Iola City Administrator Corey Schinstock said, it should take a few weeks to get the flooring installed.
