Dr. Dan Hanson, president of Peru State College, was awarded the Distinguished Citizenship Award from the Nebraska Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). The DAR Distinguished Citizen Medal recognizes individuals, who fulfill the qualities of honor, service, courage, leadership, and patriotism.
Marilyn Woerth, National Security Chair for the Nebraska DAR, presented the Medal to Hanson. She was joined by District 1 Senator Julie Slama, First Lady Elaine Hanson and Deborah Solie, the City of Peru’s Disaster Recovery Coordinator.
Slama wrote Hanson’s nomination letter, “Dr. Hanson has been a guiding light for Peru during times of crisis. Peru sustained catastrophic flood damage in March 2019, leaving our community reeling and in need of millions of dollars in infrastructure repair.”

As 2020 came to a close, the Northeast Nemaha County Long Term Recovery Group (LTRG) received positive updates on several infrastructure projects that are key to recovery for the region.
“I am pleased to report a contract was signed between the City of Peru and the Auburn Board of Public Works solidifying the plan to join the City to BPW’s water supply,” said David Pease, mayor of Peru. “This allows the engineering design and planning for construction to move forward.”
The City of Peru has also accepted an offer from FEMA to fund 75 percent of construction costs (no more than $5.2 million) related to building the water connection to Auburn.
