road work. "we've gotten good indication from the dot that they support the project," said sioux city economic development director, marty doughert. " the triumph seaboard project is going to bring a lot of traffic to the bridgeport area." the 264-million dollar plant will employ more than 11- hundred people when it opens in two years. something, mayor bob scott says is vital to the growth of the community.

"this will be great for the community as a whole because during the reconstruction pross of the bridge this will help realign things, it will keep everything a little bit more at bay in the neighborhood, it will actually make the project line up and look right and it's good for us because we are a neighbor as well to that project," said sioux city community schools director of operations and maintenance, brian fahrendholz. construction on the bridge is slated to begin in late spring of next year. a housing project in northeast nebraska is being built faster than expected. hartington security bank branch president brandon baller

says plans are progressing rapidly to build more available housing in the area. baller says that not only does this project address the need for more housing, but it also helps a lot of local busininses. "w"wn you look at all of the businesses and local contractors that are impacted when a house is built they say that those dollars get circulated seven times on average in the community. so we are very fortunate in hartington to have a number of local contractors that we can use." hartington has found a bigger need in housing than they have expected. instead of two and a half houses, 4 homes a year are being completed. this expansion brings interest to an area where rural housing has been an issue in recent past. gift cards always make good presents. but those gift cards are still going through changes to make them even more popular this holiday season. ben: and i'll have your
