Positive economic development news. There is a contract to purchase Cosmopolitan Market Place by Aurora Packing. They are a meat processing business now located in North Aurora. Their plan is to bring the already slaughtered meat from North Aurora to Aurora for processing. Per our request, they will also incorporate a retail butcher shop. They are hoping to model it after Reams which is a butcher shop in Elburn that provides quality meat products. They believe they will be bringing over 100 new jobs to the area also. Truck traffic will be minimal and and all noise and odor created by the business will be confined inside the building. All the particulars with drawings and such still need to go through city council. That will take a few months. I anticipate that the process will go smoothly and provide a much needed anchor business in that area.
