Harry I. Furkins: Columbia is ideal location for truck stop

Cites strategic central location between I-65 and I-75

Harry l Furkins writes:
I agree with Al & Mark about a truck stop in the area of Columbia. Cenrtaliy located between I-65 & I-75 with a a small offset from Somerset, soon to be the Route 66 corridor. Flying J or Pilot would be my choice. They are cleaner, well maintained, & more secure; cheaper on fuel, with points. It takes a crew to operate a truck stop, so look at the employment, plus tax dollars to the area..Truckers also shop on their layovers so even more money spent. Local repair shops would profit also. City council should look at this idea before one of the other towns along the parkway jumps on the band wagon.I am surprised they haven't already. Wish I had some money to invest. - Harry l Furkins
