Watch for three new industrial projects in Madras propelled by $750,000 from Jefferson County: two industrial business parks and a truck wash next to Love's Travel Stop on Highway 97 will each receive $250,000 grants.
"I can't remember a time when we've had more industrial development to go at once," said Gus Burril, Madras city administrator.
