THE PROJECT DARE POOL PARTY SCHEDULED FOR RIVERSIDE POOL ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

PLANS FOR THE PROPOSED LIBERTY PARK INDUSTRIAL PARK APPEAR TO BE AT BIT OF A STALEMATE.

THE COMMITTEE FOR THE PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT SOUTH OF SERGEANT BLUFF THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE VOTING TO FINALIZE A PROPOSAL TO SEND TO THE IOWA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.

THAT PLAN WOULD CALL FOR BOTH A NEW I-29 EXIT AT THE PROPOSED SITE AS WELL AS KEEPING THE EXISTING I-29 PORT NEAL INTERCHANGE IN PLACE.

COMMITTEE MEMBER JACKIE SMITH OF THE WOODBURY COUNTY SUPERVISORS SAYS SOME OF THE LANDOWNERS IN THE INDUSTRIAL AREA WEREN'T READY TO AGREE TO THE PROPOSAL;

 SMITH SAYS THE DELAY PUTS PRESSURE ON THE GROUP TO REACH AN AGREEMENT BY THE JULY DATE REQUESTED BY THE IOWA D-O-T ON THE I-29 INTERCHANGES. SHE SAYS THE COUNTY BOARD THINKS THE TWO INTERCHANGE PROPOSAL WILL WORK:

SIOUX CITY MAYOR BOB SCOTT SAYS HE'S DISAPPOINTED THAT THE LIBERTY PARK PROPOSAL HAS BEEN DELAYED AFTER MOST OF THE INDUSTRIAL PARK COMMITTEE THOUGHT THEY HAD REACHED AN AGREEMENT:

SCOTT SAYS THE CITY WILL MOVE AHEAD WITH ITS SOUTHBRIDGE INDUSTRIAL PARK DEVELOPMENT REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE LIBERTY PARK PLAN:

SCOTT SAYS IT'S UP TO THE LANDOWNERS AND THE COUNTY TO DETERMINE WHERE THE PROPOSAL GOES FROM HERE.

SMITH SAYS SHE'S APPRECIATIVE OF THE CITY OF SIOUX CITY STEPPING UP AND SUPPORTING THE TWO INTERCHANGE PLAN.
