Izzy’s Ice Cream factory plans get a boost

January 15, 2012

Izzy’s Ice Cream, which wants to build a factory by the Mississippi River near downtown Minneapolis, got the endorsement of the City Council’s development committee on Tuesday.

The plan, which would move the company’s factory from St. Paul, has drawn some criticism. The Star Tribune reports that the committee received an anti-Izzy’s petition from residents of nearby condos who say it’ll be a nuisance.

Also, a residential developer says it might not build a new condo building nearby. But the area is already zoned for light industrial use, and council members said the addition would be positive.
