West Lafayette approves W multifamily subdivision and Timberbrook Estates project

The Tippecanoe County Drainage Board convened on May 8, 2025, to discuss two significant development projects that promise to shape the local landscape and address community needs.

The first project presented was a proposed multifamily subdivision known as "W." Located between Klondike Road and County Road 400 West, this development aims to enhance housing options in the area. The project includes plans for a wet pond designed to manage stormwater effectively, ensuring compliance with the Indian Creek Watershed's restrictive release rates. This is crucial for maintaining the ecological balance and preventing flooding in the region. The board unanimously approved the project, highlighting its adherence to local stormwater drainage ordinances and the positive impact it will have on the community.

Following this, the board reviewed the Timberbrook Estates project, which is set to transform 48 acres into 39 residential lots. This subdivision is strategically located near Battle Ground Middle School and Burnett's Creek Elementary School, making it an attractive option for families. The project is expected to provide much-needed housing while also addressing complex drainage issues in the area. The board is optimistic about the development's potential to enhance the community's infrastructure and living conditions.

Both projects reflect the county's commitment to responsible development that meets the needs of its residents while ensuring environmental sustainability. As these developments move forward, they are anticipated to contribute positively to the local economy and community growth.
