Promoters of Progress Urge Area Economic Commission
Terre Haute’s Urge Economic Commission aims to turn the 440 acre Tampane site into an industrial park and push Area Planning and Zoning. The group backs three citizens to form an Economic Development Commission with power to buy sell and lease local business property. The first project would be Tampane land, part of a 290 acre deal after a 1966 government contract expired. Mayor Ralph Tucker reports on Highway 41 improvements and a study finds the toll road not economically feasible, shifting focus to corridor upgrades. Dr Alan C Rankin outlines an education drive to clarify Area Planning and Zoning for Vigo County residents. Nine new directors joined the committee.
