Alliance council gives West Plains Grain proposal initial OK
Published Wednesday, June 30, 2010 at 09:44 AM
The land, located southwest of the intersection of County Road 61 and Madison Road, will be re-zoned from Agriculture to railroad Industrial which will make way for the development of a high-speed grain train loading facility by the West Plains Company of Kansas City, Missouri.
During a public hearing, the land's owners, Mark Kimmel and Brad Schnell, spoke in favor of the re-zoning. Schnell told the council that they believed the grain loading facility would help upgrade the region's economy and broaden the tax base.
The council will review the re-zoning ordinance again during their July 15 meeting.
