Cooperation Pays Off in Army Reserve Center for Jefferson City
Jefferson City wins final approval for an Army Reserve Center after Chamber of Commerce efforts led by Col. John G. Christy. Two U.S. Corps reps paid $20,000 to complete a five acre Tanner Bridge Road land purchase. The $228,000 appropriation was preserved by quick action before the deadline, with Roy Scheperle Construction Co. as low bidder for an 18,000 square foot two story main building and a one story maintenance shop. The center will employ about $100,000 yearly and house multiple Army Reserve units, underscoring local cooperation and persistence.
