\u201cWell, it\u2019s like a piece of the puzzle, and so that\u2019s what we\u2019ve been putting together for years,\u201d Mayor Harold Copenhaver said. \u201cThese are just a few of the pieces that are left in the pie. So, once that puzzle is all put together and completed, now we can move forward, get the property ready to go. We\u2019ve already got the design drawn, obviously, for Aggie Road. Now we can meet the financial commitment to move forward with the funding.\u201d <\/p>\n
