(KLZA)-- Falls City Economic Development and Growth Enterprise Executive Director Lucas Froeschl presented the organizations second quarter report to the Falls City Council and Richardson County Commissioners last week.
During the report, Froeschl noted that Citroniq is pleased to continue significant progress on its bio-polypropylene manufacturing project and that the company appreciates all the local support as they move forward.
Citroniq Chemicals selected a location approximately two mile south of Falls City for the worlds largest decarbonized plastics production facility.
It is projected that 80 tank cars of ethanol would be delivered to the plant each day with 50 hopper cars of polypropylene shipped out each day. This will require 10-12 rail spurs allowing he parking for 4,000 rail cars on the site.
For those not familiar with the project, it is projected to employ 160 persons once completed, and create premium high-wage positions requiring engineers, chemists and maintenance technicians.
The quarterly EDGE report also noted that a site option agreement owned by EDGE, has been extended at the Mid-America Rail Campus, extending control of the development through May of 2028.
EDGE continues preparation work concentrating on housing and utility infrastructure.
The report also notes the Southeast Nebraska Land Bank sold properties at 1515 Lane Street and 813 Harlan Street to a developer who plans to have the houses in a livable condition by the spring of of 2026.
For those interested in building a new house in Falls City, the Rural Workforce Housing Fund may be utilized during your construction to eliminate interest. The house must be build for $325,000 or less.
