CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER INTERCHANGE AGREEMENT

NEXT MONDAY THE SIOUX CITY COUNCIL WILL LIKELY VOTE ON APPROVING A STUDY TO CREATE A NEW I-29 INTERCHANGE THAT WOULD SERVE THE CITY'S SOUTHBRIDGE INDUSTRIAL PARK AS WELL AS THE PROPOSED LIBERTY PARK INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT.

WOODBURY COUNTY SUPERVISORS AS WELL AS THE CITIES OF SGT. BLUFF AND SALIX HAVE ALREADY VOTED TO APPROVE THE STUDY. MAYOR BOB SCOTT SAYS HE EXPECTS THE COUNCIL WILL DO THE SAME:



THE INTERCHANGE WOULD SERVE WHAT CITY AND COUNTY LEADERS HOPE WILL BE AN INDUSTRIAL MEGASITE DEVELOPMENT.

THE IOWA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION WILL ALSO HELP PAY FOR THE STUDY, WHICH SCOTT SAYS SHOWS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PROPOSED INTERCHANGE:



ONCE THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THE STUDY, A JOINT LETTER FROM THE GOVERNING BODIES AND SIOUXLAND INITIATIVE WILL BE SENT TO THE IOWA D-O-T TO GET THE STUDY UNDERWAY.
