My family owns 90 Acres just north of Branson Mo, and a couple years ago I had my neighbors parcel of 100 acres up for sale. The only real interest I had was when another agent had shown it to some interesting people from the St Louis area. After the showing they informed me they were interested in putting in a "Tiger Sanctuary".
With no real understanding of what they were wanting to accomplish, and having a 5 year old at the time, fear and panic ran through my mind of having hundreds of tigers in my back yard. Not being the right piece of land for them; lucky for me "I thought" they moved on. Two years later, the announcement was made that the new animal sanctuary will be located in Rockaway Beach, MO, about 15 minutes north east of Branson, MO.
It should be an amazing boost for Rockaway creating a tourist attraction for 90,000 annually. The company is called Global Resources for Environmental Education and Nature or (GREEN). The 20 Acre Park will educate about people about this endangered species and the importance of protecting the environment. Now understanding what the tiger sanctuary is all about, I wish them the best and look forward to seeing Rockaway Beach have a boost in it's own economy.

The county and MO-Dot have been trying to come to an agreement lately on how to control traffic during the re-construction of the Taney Como bridge in Downtown Branson which was scheduled for December. The paper said this week that construction will begin immediately at the intersection of BB Highway and Coon Creek Rd. with new turn lanes to help with traffic. They will need this completed to accommodate the traffic from Branson to Hollister when Mo-Dot begins the bridge project. However, the county and MO-Dot have been in disagreement lately about speed limits and easements in front of Hollister Schools on BB. For now the county is still trying to negotiate with Mo-Dot officials. Time will tell how soon construction will really start. Hopefully soon, a new way to get from west to east in Taney County will be much needed.
