City eyes 2 bridges funds to extend streets
City officials plan a mid August trip to Chicago to press HUD for about 2.4 million dollars in federal aid for the Second and Third streets twin bridges project. Mayor Marguerite E Bowman says the meeting aims to extend the streets into 1100 acres of undeveloped industrial land, triggering a 1.5 million plant expansion by Luxaire Inc that would add 400 jobs. Design work for the bridges is under way by Richland Engineering of Mansfield while federal decisions proceed.
