The project will include the construction of three streets and the completion of a fourth, which is now half built.

``This work will make the entire 120 acres developable,'' said Mayor Jim Ledford. ``Economic Development staff say they have leads on every parcel in the business park.''

The business park has one company already in operation, U.S. Pole Pole, English noble family
