If so, the move would mark yet another significant success for the Mid- America park just outside of this city of 9,000. The 47-year-old industrial park has about 70 tenants.

A Gatorade plant that is expected to employ about 300 people is under construction, while J.B. Hunt, Air Products and other large employers already are in place.

"Good, clean and high-paying jobs -- that's what we're looking for," said MidAmerica Industrial Park administrator Sanders Mitchell. "That type of company draws attention."
