Legislative Priorities Submission: Center Street-Island Ford Connector Road

Submitted by: Ershig Properties

This proposed artery has been on the wish list of Madisonville for many years. Having been involved in the southern most section of this 2 mile roadway with the proposed development of Mid Town Commons we have concentrated our efforts to work with the local and state governments to bring this artery to fruition.  The realization of this new transportation system will open doors to development of restaurants,  expanded retail shopping, service and industry development and expectations of over 200 jobs per year for many years to come. This artery also helps bring the community together as a safe transportation route, being an alternative to Main Street and I-69.

In order to achieve the realization of this artery the City, County, State and the Private sectors must work together.  Without the full cooperation of all above parties this can not be achieved.  It is my belief we are nearing the finish line to successfully bring this together. Should this total support be accomplished within the very near term our company will continue to represent a strong advocacy as well as offering a capital contribution.  The continued support of the Chamber is important.  

Madisonville deserves continued progress and the pursuit of a better quality of life.
