Spencer, IA (northwestiowanow.com) — The city of Spencer has sold its second lot in the North Y Development. City Manager Kevin Robinson says the sale was officially approved earlier this month by the city council.

The company to be located at that lot on the development’s Southeast corner is Custom Cut Gutters.

The first business to purchase a lot from the city was Robinson Funeral Home, which already had a location in Spirit Lake. Owner Cory Robinson says they’re down to some finishing touches inside the new structure. His son – Spencer Robinson – will be moving back to the corridor to join the family business.

Robinson Funeral Home hopes to have the Spencer location open within the next month.

And the city of Spencer hopes to announce a third business moving to the area by the end of the year.
