Ozark Mayor Bob Bunting said in an economic development meeting that a new industry could possibly be coming to Ozark from Florida, but he didn’t elaborate more. The industry has had some hiccups on the way because of some business issues, but Bunting said it’s very likely the industry is coming here.
Well, what could the industry be? I have no idea, but it’s my job to find out. I’ll be monitoring this very closely and will get back to you soon.
