Farmer raises concerns about development at International Gateway site
Summary
Chris Mossman raised concerns about mowing and tent activity along Van Horne Lane and potential development tied to the International Gateway site; Mayor Stork identified Intersect Illinois and the Jerseyville Economic Development Corporation as parties involved in site visits and promotion.
During public comment, Chris Mossman — who farms land along Van Horne Lane — asked why city employees had placed a tent and mowed in that area on Saturday and expressed concern about potential development impacts on future generations. Mayor Kevin Stork replied that the location is where International Gateway has been pursuing development and that Intersect Illinois invites groups to visit the site with support from the Jerseyville Economic Development Corporation.
Mossman said he plans to attend future council meetings to stay informed; the council did not take formal action on the matter during this meeting.
