Industrial sites eyed for Anderson area expansion
Industrial planners urge ready sites along east edge of Anderson township near New York Central and Pennsylvania Railroads to attract new industry. Rep Jack T. Matthew and Frank Keifer say proximity to rail and highway transport, utilities, and other features justify the recommendations. The Chamber plans to contact landowners to gauge views and explain the zoning proposal, which requires a ten day advertisement before a Planning Commission vote and eventual County Commissioners approval. Officials present include County Surveyor Harold E. Smith, County Commissioner Clifton Paddock, County Agent Walter Haynes, and Chamber leaders Ed Wellington and Floyd Crooking.
