Economic
development
County economic development now has
their website up. You find it at
http://www.co.logan.il.us/edc/.
Chairman Voyles said that the committee
has been having some long and fruitful meetings. He said the county
committee met with Lincoln/Logan County Chamber of Commerce Economic
Development Director Jeff Mayfield recently to share what has been
happening.
Mayfield reported to them that the
proposed north-side commerce park is currently on the back burner.
However, a lot of other properties have been receiving some serious
interest.
Voyles said that if a viable developer
or some opportunity arises for the property again, the county will
be supportive and happy to work with them on that.
