Until a rail spur connects the Union Pacific railroad to a 1,000-acre super site across U.S. Highway 67, local economic development officials should avoid pursuing rail-reliant companies.
Awaiting directors’ approval is a change order in the amount of $65,693 to the water/wastewater extension in Gum Springs.
At least one prospective company eyeing Clark County needs that rail spur — or at least a promise there will be one built — before committing.
For the past several months local economic developers have been in talks with executives of “Project Innovex”, and the EDCCC has leased to the unnamed project a portion of the 1,000-acre site west of US Highway 67.
