Construction of new trailhead building may begin later this year Posted Keith Vandervort ELY – The Ely Economic Development Authority gathered Tuesday night to discuss and plan their goals for the upcoming year to promote the economic growth of the business community. The city’s economic advisor, John Fedo, initiated the discussion with a look back at the progress and successes of the EEDA’s efforts in the last year in the midst of the unique challenges of COVID-19. “Which of these (goals) are still valid, and to what degree?” Fedo asked in reviewing the 2020 list. “Trailhead development, our number one priority, obviously has moved to our number one accomplishment. The realization that this project will see physical construction this year is pretty inevitable.”
