Governor Sees Great Growth if People 'Sell
Governor Mark Hatfield last
Thursday night told over 500
persons at the Boardman school
gym that if plans continue to
progress for the development of
the Boardman Bombing Range
into a space-age industrial park,
the Columbia could become the
"Ohio River of the West."
The Governor said that plans
were progressing for the state
to acquire the bomb range from
the government in a trade for
other state owned lands, and
that the acquisition of options
on an additional 20.000 acres
of land north of the ranee is also
progressing according to sched
ule. Hatfieii emphasized that the
cooperation of ail residents of Day
this area is vital in helping the had
at reasonable prices, and stated
that so far, the department of
planning and development has
been well received wherever it
has made contacts.
The Governor said that the
state is getting good cooperation
from all government agencies in
volved in the land transfer (see
other story on this page) and
that he expected the state would
be able to say. "We can give
title" within two to three
months.
Private Money for Options

North Morrow county industrial
site offered which he feels will
attract science-based lndu s t r y.
Among- them are ready access
to water, rail and highway trans

explaining that because of the
absence of electrical dusturban

area is ideally suited for cer

Robert Tarr, state director of
the state department of plan

"prosperity will come with the
growth" to ease many of the
problems feared by some. He
also said that the department
has "a large file of prospects
some 'hot' and some long range."
When asked if he could pre
dict what the population In

"I would not dare predict a pop
