GOLD SHOW Feb. 12-14 2016 Quartzsite Licensed Business During the June 23rd regular meet- ing of Quartzsite Town Council, members voted to join the La Paz County Economic Development Corporation for $7500. The item was requested by Mayor Ed Foster, who said he attended a ground- breaking event for Rose Acres Farms in Bouse last week and learned that the La Paz County Economic De- velopment Corporation was partly responsible for the new egg farm. He listed some high points of the new company such as an addition to the railroad and 300 jobs that have retirement, health and dental benefi ts. He said it was time the Town joined La Paz County Economic Develop- ment Corporation and participated in the economic development of this region. Council Member Orgeron said he thought the Council had made its wishes known regarding that issue, at a Council meeting in January, which was that the Coun- cil would like to see the Town's own issues taken care of before joining the group. He said the Town needed to get the sewer plant and the water plant moving forward fi rst. He said the Town did not have the infra- structure, it will not have the hous- ing, and does not have the capabil- ity or infrastructure for additional housing. The Mayor moved to approve the agreement with the La Paz County Economic Development and Vice Mayor Simpson seconded the mo- tion. Motion carried 4-3. Yes: May- or Foster, Vice Mayor Simpson, Council Member Warner, Council Member Davidson. Council Mem- bers Kelley, Orgeron & St. Germain voted against the agreement. The Mission of the LPEDC is the de- velopment of economic wealth for the well-being of our inhabitants through sustainable improvements in our standard of living. Quartzsite joins Economic Dev. Corp
