Well to be Drilled
A well drilling project and the
construction of 2,300 lead-line
rail facilities in the Port of
Morrow Industrial Park was
approved last Thursday.
The well and rail facility plus
a double spur at the plant site,
will accommodate the new
Desert Magic potato packing
plant that is under construction
at a reported cost of approxi
mately $500,000.
The rail lead-line will be
extended from the Morrow
Product Company's potato
packing plant in the industrial
park. Rupert Kennedy, port
manager, said construction will
cost approximately $15.50 per
foot, with the grade in place.
The port commission is put
ting itself in a position through a
preliminary engineering pro
gram to apply for emergency
development funds the first part
of July. The commission ruled
out any possibility of going to
the county 's voters for a general
obligation bond issue to prepare
GAZETTE-TIMES. Thurday,
l
the industrial park for indus
tries related to agriculture that
are on the move towards the
Boardman facility.
Interchange Needed
One of the major projects at
the moment is to develop a
highway interchange on Inter
state 80 North east of Boardman
that would permit traffic from
the east to enter the park and
move to the potato packing
plants without driving to
Boardman and then back
tracking up the river to the
industrial park. Kennedy said
such an interchange would save
vehicles Vi miles and eventual
ly 7 miles.
