(KLZA)--Falls City Economic Development and Growth Enterprise Executive Director Lucas Froeschl presented the organizations quarterly report to the City Council Monday evening.
Froeschl said work on what is now a city project, building 33rd Street is progressing well and that anyone interested in having a business on the 19-acre side on the east side of Highway 73 can contact the EDGE office.
EDGE is also working on a marketing piece to help advertise Falls City to potential businesses looking for a place to locate.
On the south edge of Falls City, EDGE is working with OPPD to design a master plan for the 1,000 acre rail super site. Froeschl said this is part of the process to develop an application to go after $15 million set aside by the State for power transmission to Falls City.
EDGE is also looking for partners to redevelop private property that has been abandoned and make it available. EDGE is working with other communities in Richardson County to work together as required by a 2021 state statute.
The report also indicated that Excel Development should know by October 21 if they will be awarded funds to build duplex housing at Champions Crossing. If awarded, construction is planned for the Spring of 2023.
