The Industrial Park Commission met at Skyline Golf Course on November 15, 2007 at 12:00 Noon. Commissioners Fred Goettl, Joe Hunter, Ron Danielson, Don Evenson, Ron Roodell, Eric Chrisinger, Norm Stoker and Bob Becker were present.
1. Bill
Arndt reviewed the wetland study recently completed on an 80 acre
parcel of property adjacent to the east boundary of the City’s
Industrial Park. There is an identified wetland running from the
northwest corner to the southeast corner. The City has a DNR review of
this situation which makes it nearly impossible to develop the wetland
portion. However, there is a considerable portion of the property at
the northeast corner which will be able to be developed. The City’s
engineer will give us the acreage of this property.
2. Mayor Hunter updated those in attendance on current economic activity as follows:
Gross Motors
Culvers
Black River Development (Pines)
Brownfield clean-up on Winnebago Avenue
Oriental Kitchen addition
3. Barb
Brower, Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce and Fred Goettl,
Chairperson of this Commission, reviewed a DVD video/slide show they
had prepared through Hometown Productions. The video details areas of
Jackson County which may be of interest to potential developers. The
slide show includes information including utility rates which would be
useful to a developer. The video/slide show will be available on the
Chamber website and as a DVD to be distributed. The Commission will
meet once the project is finished to further the marketing plan.
4. The
Commission was updated on the progress to date on the Black River Dam
project and the Fairgrounds. Both are progressing well.
Meeting adjourned.
William Arndt
City Clerk
