The topography is the same. They even have a community lake at one end of town like we do. We got a lot of great ideas from there. It s a great model. It s fortunate that Flora has done its homework because there s a definite hum in the air.
Residential development is definitely on the rise.
Two subdivisions, both located within a mile of the city limits, are being developed. But the biggest news is on the commercial development front. The U.S. 49 corridor both north and south of town is attracting numerous hungry developers. It s almost like a boulder rolling down a hill there s a lot of momentum in development in and around Flora right now, said Harris Callum, who just late last month took over the seat as president of the Flora Area Chamber of Commerce. We re getting a lot of interest from fast food restaurants and other developers in the Highway 49 area.
