NAUVOO, ILLINOIS -- A group of eight local government and economic
developers have met to discuss the possibility of building a bridge
linking Iowa with Nauvoo, Ill. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints is constructing a $30 million temple in Nauvoo and this
has aided in peaking the interest of officials. Illinois officials
have always been interested in a new bridge, however, until recently,
officials in Iowa have not been similarily interested.
The project is still in the exploratory stage and there is
speculation that at the soonest, a new bridge is at least a decade
away.
