We also benefit when people have great employment. Some of these healthcare options will employ very high-wage jobs and support the economy in a number of ways,” Muenger said.</p><h2>Traffic improvements</h2><p>Muenger said the city has plans to improve Highway 150 and connectivity for nearby homes. He also anticipates the future Exit 9 will help with traffic flow.</p><p>“With a combination of those three factors, our engineering shows that will more than offset... the timeline for those projects to come online, those traffic improvements, are roughly around the same time as the traffic build up would be,” Muenger said.</p><p>The city says it plans to hold additional public comment as the project goes through the planning committee.
