  The next 18 months could prove crucial to the economic future of Webster County, according to John Kramer, president of the Development Corporation of Fort Dodge and Webster County.
  
  To help identify the strengths and deficiencies of the local economy, the Development Corporation hired R.A. Smith & Associates Inc. to conduct a series of studies.
  
  Now that the studies are complete, committees designed to help implement their recommendations have been established.
  
  In addition to an overall steering committee, subcommittees dealing with work force and economy, housing and property development, image and appearance, and recreation and entertainment will meet regularly with the goal of affecting improvements in their areas, Kramer said.
  ...
  ‘‘If we don't fix things soon, it's going to cost us some business expansion," Kramer said.

  The highway's importance has grown with the booming biofuels industry, according to John Kramer, executive director of Webster County Development.
  
  The corn and soybeans heading to the growing number of ethanol and biodiesel plants get there in trucks.Kramer said the presence of VeraSun Fort Dodge, Frontier Ethanol and soon, Tate & Lyle, could ‘‘have thousands of trucks" coming to Webster County.
  
  Without the completion of four-lane U.S. Highway 20, three-quarters of the state will continue to grow while the remaining one-quarter dies, Kramer said.

  John Kramer, executive director of Webster County Development, told the postal representatives that closing the downtown site and moving the retail counter to the regional mail processing facility in the Fort Dodge Industrial Park was "unacceptable."
  
  Kramer made it clear to the postal representatives that he believed they weren't being forthcoming.
  
  "I think you're filibustering," he said.

  According to John Kramer, executive director for WCD, the new office allows his organization to meet with clients - business leaders who may consider locating their enterprises in the Fort Dodge area - in a more ‘‘professional" space.
  
  ‘‘We have the space to have clients in while maintaining their confidentiality," said Kramer.
  
  While sharing office space with the Chamber of Commerce, there was greater difficulty in maintaining a low profile for businesses that were not ready to publicize their interest in the area, Kramer said.
  
  The second private office, currently unoccupied, leaves room for expansion of the WCD staff, which now consists of Kramer and Knigge.
  ...
  ‘‘We're hoping to add a third person in the summer," said Kramer.
  
  The new staffer would serve in a ‘‘marketing function," he said.

  What could make all the difference is a spur connecting the two, according to John Kramer, president of the Development Corporation of Fort Dodge and Webster County.
  ...
  The rail spur could help attract potential clients to the center by providing easy access to two railroads, thereby cutting transportation costs and eliminating the need for businesses to build their own staging areas, Kramer said.
  
  Beyond the immediate local impact, the spur could serve as a regional staging center.
  
  "The railroad companies generally don't own railroad cars anymore," he said. Rather, locomotives back into staging areas, pick up unitrains consisting of more than 100 cars, and haul them away, Kramer said.
  
  The Webster County spur would facilitate this, according to Kramer.
  
  Kramer said negotiations are under way with an unnamed company to build a railcar maintenance and certification facility, which could bring a $10 to $15 million investment and up to 150 jobs to the area.
  ...
  Despite setbacks, Kramer remains optimistic about the future of biotechnology - which will go far beyond corn ethanol in the years to come, he said.
  
  "We have three of the biggest players in the industry right here," said Kramer, referring to Valero, Tate & Lyle, and POET Energy, which operates an ethanol plant near Gowrie.
