Box Butte County was visited Monday by Nebraska District 19 State Senator and Speaker of the Legislature Sen. Mike Flood (center) on a tour of business and industry leaders in Alliance and Hemingford.

After stops at WESTCO and New Alliance Bean Co., he arrived at Box Butte General Hospital for a tour of the facility. This is the second time this year Sen. Flood has visited BBGH, having done so in July for input on the hospital expansion/renovation project.

From BBGH, the Senator visited other Alliance business and industry leaders, including BNSF, and then made a trip to Hemingford to visit Farmer’s Co-op Elevator Co. and Mobius Communications.
