The Crittenden Press reports that area counties are considering a resolution to dissolve an organization that was originally tasked with developing a mega industrial site south of Fredonia.
The Crittenden County Fiscal Court approved a resolution last week to dissolve the Pennyrile Westpark Industrial Development Authority, which formally ended its participation in a multi-county effort to market the megasite.
Other counties that are expected to consider similar action include Lyon, Caldwell, Trigg, and Livingston.
The resolution states the authority "is no longer deemed a viable option for the purpose of promoting economic development."
The property for the proposed megasite was owned by the State of Kentucky, and had offered it to the authority to be developed. The concept, which was introduced nearly five years ago, would have been one of only two megasites in the state available for industrial development.
