MRED board updated on EEZ status

At the Moniteau County Regional Economic Development Council (MRED) Board of Directors meeting Wednesday, Dec. 14, at Burgher Haus, Executive Director Ken Parrett presented an update on the Enhanced Enterprize Zone (EEZ) application. All information has been provided, including additional photos requested of vacant or empty buildings.

Parrett commented that in his opinion once the county is designated as an EEZ, businesses will seek to relocate to it.

There have been four inquiries into the now vacant Nordyne building. "Once they find out a 50,000 square foot building is available in the heart of Missouri, they are interested," he said.
