Weight limit dispute prompts calls for cross town cooperation
In West City and Benton, a weigh limit ordinance sparks disappointment as leaders urge collaboration. Benton Mayor Kraft says Ag Industry Resource Inc. could create over 125 jobs and seeks to overcome four decades of feuding. The plan includes a new road project linked to a state grant, with critics worried about taxes and road access. Kearney of Ag Energy Resources urges cooperation while noting low truck traffic projections. Watkins supports infrastructure at no cost to West City, urging past disputes be set aside for county benefit.
