A significant step was taken by the Marianna City Commission at their Tuesday meeting. They released the former Wisconsin based occupant company of the Alliance Laundry Systems (Unimac) from the long term lease contracts that required them to continue to pay lease-holder payments to the city even though they no longer occupy the facilities. Why would the city allow them to get "off the hook" and be released from their obligations?
It is believed another industrial prospect has appeared on the scene and the facility had to be made available before the prospect could move forward in its decision to come to Marianna. At the request of Bill Stanton, Director of the Jackson County Development Council, the Marianna Industrial Commission, chaired by Harold Donaldson and the Marianna City Commission voted to make the facility available for a new leaseholder. Stanton has termed this new recruitment effort as "Project Alliance", but is tight lipped as to any details relating to who this new industrial prospect might be.
We applaud the Marianna City Commission for assisting in this effort. We certainly need another job creating company operating in these large, empty buildings at our industrial airpark.
