25 years ago Thursday, Jan. 22, 1981 Ukiah Daily Journal NDUSTRIAL PARK ONE STEP CLOSER TO REALITY. The proposed Ukiah industrial park moved one step closer I last night to becoming a part of the city’s economic base. The city council held a public hearing on the matter, and indicated that final approval may not be far off. Bill Fowler, manager of the Ukiah Chamber of Commerce, urged the council to grant its “speedy approval of the plan so the Chamber of Commerce can get behind it and get it going.” The chamber has agreed to lend its resources to promoting the park, should it be approved. As proposed, the park would consist of 155 acres of private and city land near the airport, and would be restricted to cleaner industries. While most involved in the proposal concede that the venture could be marginal in its returns to community wallets, the project has strong support among city officials. Councilmember Kate Riley expressed concern over the fact that parts of the plan seem to allow the creation of CAN YOU IDENTIFY THIS PHOTOGRAPH? another shopping center, something she finds objectionable in light of the city’s efforts to revitalize downtown. “I believe we should make this an industrial park and not a If you can identify this photo (or would just like to of Inland Mendocino County, Volume II.” Held-Poage commercial park,” Riley told the council. guess) please write down what you think is pictured researcher Ed Bold, who came up with the idea for the ...In discussing the search for a new city manager, Mayor and its location. contest and chooses each month’s photo, will draw the Hays Hickey said the city has received 108 applications for Include your name and a phone number where you winning entry. the job, three of which are local, 40 are from within the state, can be reached if you win, and submit the information The contest is not open to employees of The Daily and 65 are from out of state. to us by 5 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 31.
