Attention To Property Owners Os North Liberty An important meeting has been scheduled for the property owners, within one-quarter mile of the North Liberty Industrial Park, for Thursday, April 16, at 7:00 p.m. in the North Liberty Community Center. This meeting is a follow-up to a meeting held on March 23 at which a representative from Stericycle, Inc., met with a group to explain the operations of their company. A representative from the company will be present to explain their interest in building a new plant in this area, their operations and the proposed employment for the area. The public is invited to attend this important meeting. A letter was sent out to property owners within the one-quarter mile area of the Industrial Park on April 6th explaining the March 23 meeting. Those attending the March 23 meeting included people from Stericycle operations, representatives from the North Liberty Town Council, North Liberty Area Chamber of Commerce, North Liberty Development Corp., St. Joseph County Project Future, St. Joseph County Health Department, local medical doctors, neighbors and citizens. The afternoon following the March 23 meeting the Stericycle representative was shown the North Liberty Industrial Park and that is when they expressed interest in locating a new plant here and to employ up to 40 people. No decisions will be made until after the April 16 meeting and after a delegate visits the Stericycle plant operating in the state of Washington. The plant in Washington is the same as proposed for Indiana. The delegate's report should enable the Town Council, Chamber, Development Corp, and St. Joseph County Health Dept, to make a responsible decision on whether to have a new Stericycle plant located in the North Liberty Industrial Park.
