Top Columbia banker predicts more explosive growth in Ashland

The president of Columbia’s largest bank says growth continues in Ashland, Boonville, Hallsville and Centralia.

Central Bank of Boone County president Ed Scavone notes the bank has branches in all of those communities.

“Some of the housing issues we talked about and cost of land and cost of living is enough difference between Columbia and those markets where that commute’s not so bad. And if you live in south Columbia and you work downtown it’s not much shorter than driving from Ashland to downtown now,” Scavone says.

He says the bank wants to help those communities and businesses grow. Ashland’s population has increased from 3,700 in 2010 to about 4,700 in 2020. That explosive growth has caught the eye of Scavone. He joined host Fred Parry in-studio Saturday morning for 939 the Eagle’s “CEO Round Table.”

“Maybe not in my career, but I see it like (southwest Missouri’s) Nixa to Springfield. And between us and Jefferson City. And you’re seeing with the Ranken School that I know you were a big part of making that happen, that’s just a tip of the iceberg of what’s going to happen down there I believe over the coming years,” says Scavone.

Construction continues on Ranken Technical College’s new center in Ashland. It will focus on IT, construction, nursing and manufacturing and is being built next to Salter Lawn Service, near Highway 63. Ranken’s president has told 939 the Eagle that Ranken didn’t choose Ashland, and that it was Ashland which chose Ranken.

Central Bank also opened a new branch in Naples, Florida in August.

Central Bank of Boone County is Columbia’s largest bank, with about $3-billion in assets. The bank has numerous branches throughout Columbia, two Boonville branches and branches in Ashland, Centralia, Hallsville and Sturgeon. Central Bank of Boone County president Ed Scavone joined host Fred Parry in-studio for the hour Saturday morning on 939 the Eagle’s “CEO Round Table.” Mr. Scavone credits the REDI staff for taking some REDI board meetings on the road to smaller communities. He also predicts that Ashland’s explosive growth will continue. Mr. Scavone predicts that in the future, Ashland and Columbia will be similar to what we’re seeing in southwest Missouri’s Nixa and Springfield:

Ice jam impacting key river that flows through mid-Missouri

December 29, 2022 By Brian Hauswirth

The National Weather Service (NWS) hopes warmer temperatures will break up the ice jam on the Missouri River between Boonville and Glasgow (December 28, 2022 graphic courtesy of NWS St. Louis Twitter)

The National Weather Service (NWS) in St. Louis says warmer weather over the next few days is expected to help an ice jam on the Missouri River in mid-Missouri.

The NWS says the ice jam is between Glasgow and Boonville, causing record low flows at Jefferson City and at Hermann.

Temperatures in Columbia and Jefferson City are expected to be in the mid to upper 60s today. Temperatures just one week ago were below zero, during the winter storm that brought snow and freezing rain.

MoDOT is currently down about 1,000 snow plow operators statewide

October 20, 2022 By Brian Hauswirth

Columbia, Jefferson City and Boonville-area motorists are seeing dozens of yellow state Department of Transportation (MoDOT) snow plow vehicles on area interstates and highways this morning.

It’s part of a statewide winter weather drill to train snowplow operators on their designated routes, so they’re aware of everything. That includes knowing where curbs and raised islands are that could be hidden under snow and ice.

The drill will continue into the early afternoon, and you’ll see a number of them on I-70 and Highway 63 in the Columbia area.

MoDOT director Patrick McKenna says with high turnover rates and with many positions still open, driver training today is more critical than ever. MoDOT says there is a critical shortage of qualified snow plow operators across the state. MoDOT tells 939 the Eagle that they’re currently down 1,000 snow plow operators statewide. That’s about 30 percent below the staffing level they need to cover more than one shift in a statewide storm, according to director McKenna.

MoDOT’s emergency communications systems is also being tested today, and every piece of equipment is being inspected and calibrated to operate efficiently and safety.  MoDOT spent about $53-million on winter operations statewide last year.

This past winter was brutal in mid-Missouri, especially in February. MoDOT plow crews drove more than two-million miles statewide that month. There were winter storms in three of the four weeks, and MoDOT’s emergency operations center was open for nine of February’s 28 days. Governor Mike Parson activated the Missouri National Guard for the first two-day storm that month, which dropped ten inches of snow in Columbia.

The new president of Rost Enterprises says the popular Midway Golf and Games just west of Columbia draws customers from St. Louis, Kansas City and rural towns like Sedalia, Marshall, Boonville, Mexico, Moberly and Macon. Rost Enterprises operates Midway Golf and Games, Rost Landscaping and Superior Garden Center. New company president Taylor Burks and founder Tim Rost joined host Fred Parry in-studio for the hour Saturday on 939 the Eagle’s “CEO Round Table.” They say the addition of TopTracer in 2023 will make Midway Golf and Games the premier family fun destination in mid-Missouri. They also outlined plans to build a restaurant and bar and a banquet facility that would seat up to 300 people for dinner:
