City council adopts plan modification to clear way for Landmark Snacks facility
Summary
The City Council unanimously adopted plan modification 25-4 for the Landmark Snacks redevelopment area, supporting a proposed 156,000 sq ft facility expected to employ about 150 people and produce an assessed valuation near $24 million, enabling roughly $4 million in TIF revenue to support the project.
The Beatrice City Council unanimously adopted plan modification 25-4 for redevelopment area No. 1, clearing the way for Landmark Snacks to locate a proposed 156,000-square-foot facility on roughly 20 acres of the Schwarzkopf property. The council passed Resolution 76-78 by a 7-0 vote.
City staff described the project as a new facility west of Ridgeview Drive near the hatchery and Precise Fabric. Tobias said the company plans to employ about 150 workers at the site and that the county assessor’s initial estimate puts assessed valuation on completion at about $24 million, producing roughly $4 million in tax-increment financing (TIF) revenues tied to the redevelopment plan.
Supporters on the council spoke in favor. One council member noted earlier LB840 funds helped the company grow locally and expressed pride in the firm’s expansion. No opposing testimony was recorded during the public hearing, which closed with a unanimous vote to proceed.
Next steps cited by staff include final planning approvals and engineering reviews required before site work begins; no specific construction timetable was provided during the meeting. The council moved promptly from the public hearing to vote on adopting the plan modification and approved the related implementing resolution.
