DYERSVILLE, IA (OCTOBER 2023) – Fidelity Bank & Trust recently contributed $250,000 to the Michael and Jean Knepper Child Care Center for their childcare project, a new center that will serve more than 200 children. The center will be located at 20 West Industrial Park, Dyersville, IA. Recently, bank representatives presented a check to the Dyersville Economic Development Corporation board members.
“As Your Hometown Bank, we are committed to giving back to the communities that have helped us achieve success,” said Dan Zitelman, President and CEO at Fidelity Bank & Trust. “Not only will the project have a significant impact in our community, but it will also provide a much-needed childcare facility to families in the surrounding area. We are honored to make this investment in Dyersville and contribute to growth in the community,” added Zitelman.
The Michael and Jean Knepper Child Care Center is set to be approximately 17,500 square feet with outdoor space and two playgrounds. It will double the area's childcare capacity. The interior will have several classrooms, a kitchen space and a multipurpose room that would act as a gym. Construction is expected to begin as early as this fall. The Kid Project, which currently manages a childcare center in Dyersville, will also take charge of the facility upon completion.
