The no trade list targets exports to North Korea, Cuba and Iran.

Franklin County renames frontage road for U S 59 project
Franklin County Commissioners name the new frontage road Missouri Drive to serve the U S 59 expressway between Stafford and Shawnee while delaying the renaming of U S 59 itself. The move supports building permits and 911 addressing, avoiding Eisenhower Road names already in use, and departs from policy until the expressway becomes county road. The plan also notes a mile upgrade of Missouri Road nearby and prior plans to rename U S 59 as Old Highway 59.
