The Missouri State Penitentiary (MSP) Redevelopment Commission has unanimously agreed its primary objective is to see the Master Plan completed.

"It does sound silly," said commissioner Gene Bushmann, who made the motion. He referred to a recent Jefferson City News Tribune article quoting City Administrator Nathan Nickolaus calling the MSP Master Plan "dead."

Commissioners agreed modifications may be needed, but the overall priorities of the plan have not changed.
