The sprawling industrial complex, covering 20 million square feet and by far the largest industrial complex in the state, will be located off I-94 between Highway 11 and Highway KR, officials said at a news conference. The exact location will be in the far southwest corner of the Village of Mount Pleasant on 1,198 acres in a section bounded by I-94 on the west, Highway KR on the south, Highway H on the east and Braun Road on the north.

Maybe it’s good that I don’t live near there now.

Pecan is our favorite also, when I am in the area, I clean Woodmans out of Pecan.

One can get them online, if you are interested. They are more expensive that way.

They are very good and I would recommend them, pecan is hard to beat.
