A new road has been dedicated in South Sioux City that connects the city to a new housing project along the riverfront.
Mayor Rod Koch says Veterans Drive will run from Siouxland Freedom Park to the new Flatwater Crossing project being developed by Ho-Chunk:
OC………new communities. :22
Flatwater Crossing will consist of a thousand housing units including 600 apartments and 400 single family homes.
Ho Chunk contributed $1.2 million dollars to the road project.
C-E-O Lance Morgan says the initiative has been a great partnership between the city, county and his company:
OC……..in this community. :22
Mayor Koch says the naming of the new road after veterans fits in with the adjoining Freedom Park:
OC……..our military. :07
Following the dedication, Mayor Koch, Morgan and others took the first official drive on the new road in a 1942 military vehicle provided by Mike Feathers.
