Axtell is soon to have a new community fitness center. It’s just one in a series of new projects the town of 400 residents has taken on over the past several years with the goal of keeping their community’s population stable or growing. … It followed creation of a new playground in the park on the town’s south end, a community PRIDE project several years ago. Then there’s Axtell Community Grocery, which opened downtown last year and has helped stock the town’s cupboards so residents don’t have to drive 10 miles east to Seneca or 20 miles west to Marysville for food.
