Iron Grain District build breaks ground

Magers Management Company celebrated the beginnings of the Iron Grain District with a groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday, Oct. 6, at the site of the future development. The $65 million, 30-acre project northeast of Amazon will be a combination of business and residential buildings and is expected to be completed around the summer of 2023. During the ceremony, a mural painted by local artist Susan Sommer, depicting a steam locomotive and girl riding a horse, symbolic of how horses and trains helped to build up America, was also unveiled. The mural, which Sommer painted on the side of a shipping container, will be on permanent display at the development.
