We just wanted to update everyone on an exciting event occurring Thursday October 21st.
Missouri Governor Jay Nixon and State Senator Wes Shoemyer will arrive in Canton, Missouri tomorrow at 12:15 to officially announce funding for a river front development area in Canton, Missouri.
The Governor and Senator along with IDA director Bill Smith and UFC projects manager Jim UpChurch have teamed together to create an opportunity to
develop this riverfront area. This is a giant step forward for the
company
of Ursa Farmers to build a river terminal in Canton, Missouri. This is
NOT
an announcement "tomorrow" that UFC is going to build as we have many hurdles to cross, but it is a large step in the right direction.
The Governor and Senator have asked Bill and myself to say a few words regarding this opportunity. The concept has been to create an opportunity
for UFC and others to build in Missouri. If we build and I say "IF"
because we have issues that need resolved, UFC was to be the foundation of development for the riverfront business area.
We are sending membership notice of this event by DTN text messaging and several email accounts we have setup. Be aware the media have been notified and membership will be asking questions.
Once more this is NOT a UFC announcement. It is a public announcement of
the state funding an opportunity to develop Canton's Riverfront area.
So this will be an exciting day for all involved.
