Visions for Vacancies: Former Hanson Concrete Property

This is a big one.

The former Hanson Concrete site is a full 80 acres left unused since the plant closed and took 100 jobs with it. In her in March, Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland said the site would be "master planned" this year.

City officials have said in the past that they hope to attract companies that would provide "head-of-household jobs," and that they didn't expect another large plant would take over the site. Options they thought of were a medical office, light manufacturing and financial and technical services, Community Development Director told Sun Newspapers last year.

But what do you think would make a good addition (or additions) to the community here?
