Dixon City Council members gave final approval last week for the construction of a 23-acre travel plaza and restaurant near I-80, expected to generate about 90 jobs and add $500,000 to city coffers once it opens.

Builders of the $1 million Flying J truck stop and travel plaza are required to construct water, sewer and utility infrastructure as part of the approval, including the addition of a storm water basin.

The project includes two pump islands, a market, lounge, restaurant and parking accommodations for big rigs, recreational vehicles and passenger cars.
