Industrial park to Heath development speeds road funds
Marion city commissioners will pay about 75 percent of the cost to extend a road from the Industrial Park to Heath's Saluki National Golf Course development. Developer Richard J. Heath said the road improves access and accelerates home sales for the 235 acre project west of the city. Heath pledged 3000 to 4000 dollars if needed to start the project. The first road segment is under a Doric Vault Co. agreement, with more street work planned for summer including three streets and moving 150000 cubic yards of dirt for the golf course.
