EDA: new job openings possible in food and call center Three new food options set to open this spring - Happy Cow, Cookout and Dairy Queen; also a call center is looking at possibilities of locating in Columbia. By Linda Waggener The Adair County Economic Development Authority met Tuesday, January 21, 2020 with all board members in attendance except for Mark Dykes and Chester Taylor who were out for health reasons. Present were: Chairman Bobby Morrison, Adair County Judge Executive Gail Cowan, Treasurer Roger Meadows, Secretary Kinsey Rowe, Columbia Mayor Pam Hoots, and board members Dean Adams and Ann Martin, along with members of the media. Discussion of economic activities and possibilities included Mayer Hoots' report that Happy Cow will open in the Pinewood Center this month, Cookout Restaurant will open in the old DQ location the end of March or April, and the new Dairy Queen will be going into the location formally owned by CJ Holt and is projected to open the end of May. Further updates of potential employers were shared about Comtack Call Center, mentioned at the last meeting, which is looking at Columbia as a possible location for some 75 future jobs. They have been in contact with the mayor and are still considering Columbia as a possible location. Plans were discussed about a spec building that former Board member Anthony Janes is reportedly constructing on the Veterans Memorial bypass which could potentially be a location for a new call center. Background work was reported to be continuing on the road improvements in Green River Industrial Park. Questions arose during the meeting which required the original articles of incorporation to be referenced. EDA Secretary Debbie Dunn looked them up after the meeting ended for Chairman Morrison. The question remains as to when the word 'industrial' was changed to 'economic' in the name of the organization. More research will be done. The organization was begun 24 years ago in 1996 as the Industrial Development Authority and had six board members including: Robert Flowers, Larry Walker, Dan Antle, Randy Nelson, George Kolbenschlag and Brenda Williams - half appointed by the County and half by the City.
