Industrial Park Planned At Hannibal
Hannibal leaders backed by government officials outline a plan to purchase about 72 acres in Bear Creek Valley for an industrial park. The Hannibal Realty Company will hold title and manage land until industries locate here, with five local banks providing loan backing. The site lies within city limits and aims to create roughly 60 usable acres with utilities and access, as Stage One of a Bear Creek Valley master plan to attract employers.
