SUNNY AND HOT TODAY...IN 80'S. RAIN POSSIBLE TONIGHT AND TOMORROW AND THEN GOOD FORECAST FOR REST OF WEEK AND WEEKEND.

MAQUOKETA NEW INDUSTRY THAT WAS ANNOUNCED THIS SPRING WILL OPEN NEXT MONTH, BUT IN A NEW LOCATION. THE JACKSON COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WERE TOLD MONDAY AFTERNOON THAT HUSCO WILL NOT BE BUYING THE COUNTY'S EMPTY BUILDING IN THE INDUSTRIAL PARK AND INSTEAD WILL LEASE 70,000 SQUARE FEET IN THE GENERAC BUILDING IN THE SOUTH EDGE OF MAQUOKETA INDUSTRIAL PARK. HUSCO MADE THE MOVE BECAUSE THEY SAW THE GENERAC BUILDING AS A PLACE FOR POTENTIAL GROWTH AND IT WOULD BETTER SUIT THEIR NEEDS NOW. THE BUILDING THEY HAD PLANNED TO BUY FROM THE COUNTY WAS ONLY 53,000 SQUARE FEET. PLANS CALL FOR THE PLANT TO OPEN IN AUGUST WITH 50 TO 100 PEOPLE AND A PROMISE OF 200 JOBS OVER THREE YEARS.

THE MAQUOKETA GIRLS WON A DOUBLE HEADER OVER VINTON SHELLSBURG YESTERDAY, THERE, BUT HERE IN TOWN, THE BOYS LOST BOTH OF THEIR GAMES
TO VINTON. THE GIRLS ARE HAVING A GOOD YEAR AND THE BOYS A BAD YEAR.

KEEP COOL.
