Scottsburg advances Maple Run economic-development bonds, amends allocation-area name
Summary
Council moved to advance Ordinance 2025-6 for taxable economic development revenue bonds for the Maple Run project, suspended rules to allow third reading, and approved an amendment changing the allocation-area wording to match state/TIP documents.
The Scottsburg City Common Council moved forward on Ordinance 2025-6, authorizing taxable economic development revenue bonds for the Maple Run project, and approved a minor amendment to the ordinance’s allocation-area name to align with state documents.
At the meeting the council accepted a motion to proceed on the ordinance’s second reading. Counsel noted that to complete all readings in one meeting the council would need to suspend the normal rules; the council then moved to suspend the rules to allow third and final reading.
Council members approved a small wording change. The ordinance’s second whereas clause originally referenced the “Maple Run subdivision residential allocation area”; the phrase “subdivision residential” was removed so the text now reads “Maple Run allocation area” to conform with the state’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) naming.
Officials present for the public hearing included Bo Zellers (legal counsel) and Jason Simler (financial counsel). The council’s actions in the provided transcript record affirmative responses on the motions to suspend the rules and to approve the amendment. The transcript does not record a full roll-call vote for final adoption in the excerpt provided.
The change is textual and described by counsel as intended only to sync the ordinance’s language with state records and the TIP.
