Lee County officials hear from residents on proposed steel mill project

FORT MADISON — Kelly Jameson has lived in the Green Bay Bottoms all her life. As a third generation resident, raising the fourth, she’s passionate about her community. And, she’s passionately against a proposed steel mill that is planned for the area. If Mesabi Metallics builds the largest steel mill in the United States just three miles from her house, she said, it defeats the whole reason she has stayed in her hometown. “This is currently a nice, rural community … when the reason we choose to live here is gone, why would we stay?” she asked at a public information meeting held in Fort Madison Wednesday evening. Lee County supervisors and officials from Mesabi Metallics held an informational meeting at the Quality Inn & Suites in Fort Madison, allowing area residents and business leaders to express their views on the potential for a steel mill. Roughly 200 people packed the hotel conference room, leaving standing room only. Jameson was one of about two dozen speakers Wednesday night, although her dissenting comments were in the minority. City administrators, economic development workers, supervisors and mayors of neighboring communities spoke in favor of the project and the opportunities it would bring. Local

Agriculture Continues to Shape the Jacksonville Region’s Future

For many people, agriculture begins at the grocery store. In the Jacksonville region, it begins much closer to home. It starts with the farms that grow corn and soybeans across Morgan and Scott counties. It continues through the seed companies developing new crop varieties, equipment dealers helping farmers adopt precision technology, businesses that transport and process agricultural products, and the schools and community organizations preparing the next generation of workers. It also reaches families who have lived and worked on local farms for generations, as well as residents who benefit from the economic activity those farms create.
