On the East side of Lake City, there is a 2,600 acre site being developed for industrial growth. Allison McGrath reported today at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon that Plum Creek Timber Company owns this site and hopes to attract a variety of businesses to Columbia County, who will in turn bring jobs to our community. Getting the United States Forest Service to approve a 6 acre railroad spur is key to moving this project forward. Let’s hope that all of the regulators can get together on this project and good paying jobs are around the corner.
