AS PLANS FOR THE LIBERTY PARK INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT CONTINUE TO TAKE SHAPE, SOME WOODBURY COUNTY SUPERVISORS ARE RE-CONFIRMING THAT THE PORT NEAL I-29 INTERCHANGE NEEDS TO STAY IN PLACE.
SUPERVISOR DAVID TRIPP SAYS HE FAVORS THE JOB CREATION THE DEVLOPMENT WOULD BRING, BUT NOT AT THE COST OF THE PORT NEAL INTERCHANGE.
MARK MONSON ECHOED TRIPP'S STATEMENT ON PORT NEAL:
ON TUESDAY, SUPERVISORS APPROVED JUST OVER 75-THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A CONTRACT WITH MC CLURE ENGINEERING FOR PRELIMINARY MASTER PLAN WORK.
A COMMITTEE OF AFFECTED LANDOWNERS, BUSINESS PEOPLE, AND OFFICIALS IS BEING FINALIZED TO TAKE THE PLAN TO THE IOWA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.
SUPERVISOR CHAIRWOMAN JACKIE SMITH THINKS THAT PLAN WILL CALL FOR TWO I-29 INTERCHANGES, WHICH THE D-O-T CURRENTLY OPPOSES:
SMITH EXPECTS THE COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP TO BE FINALIZED WITHIN A WEEK OR SO.
