In 1998, citizens of Moville had a town hall meeting to discuss future needs. From this meeting came plans for a community center. The County Library was added to help raise state and county funds. In 2004, the City received a Vision Iowa grant for $300,000.00. A bond issue was passed in October 2004 by the city of Moville to provide for a new Library/Community Center constructed on land that has been donated by a private individual. The new library was complete in July 2006 and is located adjacent to the bike/walking trail just east of Moville.

Memorial Park has undergone some big improvements this summer – $40,000 was raised to purchase Miracle Playground Equipment and 60 volunteers came together to assemble and install on August 13, 2011.

The City crews have been working hard to renovate the shelter house with new doors and windows, along with handicap accessible bathrooms, new paint was applied inside and outside along with new counters and sinks. Concrete has been poured and a covered patio will be erected on the west side to allow for more seating. This building is available to rent from April – October by contacting City Hall.

The Maxwell Family donated land to the city in hopes that the Maxwell Remembrance a park could be created. The City cleared away a run down house and Local Veterans purchased a beautiful monument to be placed at the center of the park. City crew worked with the local Veterans to build sidewalks and make this dream happen.
