stage alongside Williams, an execu- tive from park owner Weyerhaeuser and representatives from other proj- ect partners. Brannan highlighted his office’s efforts to lock down a $750,000 legislative appropriation for the rail spur. “It was my pleasure,” Brannan said, “one of the first (appropriations bills) I was able to file.” Brannan’s predecessor, former state Rep. Elizabeth Porter, sat in the audience but didn’t speak. Weyerhaeuser Senior Planning Manager Greg Galpin spoke to the level of coordination the project has required between the multiple par- ties involved. “Without a community vision, we wouldn’t be here today to celebrate,” Galpin said. Other speakers included Crysta Stiles, director of economic develop- ment for Florida Power and Light, Carl Warren, director of ports and international development for CSX railroads, Jeff Goutcher, director of marketing and sales for Rail USA and Jerry Parrish, chief econ- omist with the Florida Chamber Foundation. The rail spur will be the first and last mile for goods coming Photos by CARL MCKINNEY/Lake City Reporter to and from the industrial park, proj- ect partners said. The infrastructure is vital for the site to compete with similar properties, they said. “If this property is the engine, then the roadways and rail lines that are servicing this facility is the key,” Goutcher said. The spur will connect the industri- al park by way if a grade-level cross- ing to the CSX tracks on the other side of U.S. 90. The speeches, capped at six min- utes each, began a little after 1 p.m. Thursday and lasted roughly an hour. Multiple groups of officials and busi- ness leaders then took turns holding shovels for a groundbreaking cere- mony photo op, which was followed by a separate ceremony in which par- ticipants hammered golden spikes TOP: Local officials, including Lake City Manager Joe Helfenberger (left foreground) and Assistant County into a model slice of railroad tracks.

The rail spur is key to the site’s success, officials and company the norm due to the length of time representatives say, as it will connect the property to cities throughout the region and beyond. the industrial park has been in the works. “Given 20 years, I think it’d proba- bly be appropriate,” Galpin said. The rail spur is expected to be completed in 12 months.

OUR OPINION Keeping our eyes on the ball t took almost 20 years, but we’ve finally got our rail spur — or will in a year or so when construc- Ition is complete. That’s great, but for all the hoopla surrounding Thursday’s ground-breaking ceremony, let’s not forget the spur is not an end in itself. It is just a tool that Weyerhaeuser, the company that owns the North Florida Mega Industrial Park east of Lake City, can use to get tenants that will in turn pay property taxes and bring us good-paying, career-track jobs. Or so we hope and expect. We are pleased to see this new tool added to their On military bases belt, but the real time for celebration will be when the park gets its first tenants. And when Columbia County finally starts seeing the aforementioned jobs (whether they materialize Give them back their tools at the industrial park, on Bell Road, or anywhere in between) that we hear about so often from political t was not too long ago (cough, and women for the challenge of types, especially in an election year. cough) that I was an energetic having to stand helpless, in front of So when any given candidate starts bending your Iyoung college student.
