City, Foundry reach compromise on new facility move
Midwest Foundry owner Samuel Trender gains time to relocate to a city owned site in La Crosse Interstate Industrial Park. The La Crosse Area School District avoids a condemnation fight and will obtain the high school site, with cash payments totaling 672 750 and a 100 000 letter of credit to guarantee terms. The deal hinges on Fiscal Control Board approval and permits, while the district may access the current site during a transition period. Separately, the La Crosse Fire Department continues its probe into the Ben Franklin store explosion and fire, with the state fire marshal notified and five people treated for burns or smoke inhalation.
