IDA director backs rezoning 34-acre Floyd Drive parcel for industrial park; board heard no opposition
Summary
Pierce County's IDA director told commissioners that rezoning 34 acres at 3401 Floyd Drive from Agriculture/Forestry to Industrial would bring jobs to the county; the June 4 hearing record shows no public opposition and no vote was taken that evening.
At the June 4, 2024 public hearing, the Pierce County Board of Commissioners considered a request to rezone Parcel #035-067, a 34-acre tract at 3401 Floyd Drive in Blackshear, from Agriculture/Forestry to Industrial for inclusion in the county Industrial Park.
Chairman Neal Bennett invited Matt Carter, identified in the record as the Industrial Development Authority (IDA) director, to speak about the change. Carter told the board that rezoning the parcel for industrial use "would be good for Pierce County" and said it would bring many jobs to the county, according to the hearing record. The transcript does not record further public comment or opposition to the rezoning.
The parcel and rezoning request were presented but the transcript of the June 4 hearing does not show a formal motion, vote, or additional staff presentation on technical impacts such as utilities, traffic, or environmental review. Chairman Bennett moved on to the next agenda item after public comment closed; the meeting was later adjourned at 5:57 p.m.
Because the hearing record does not include a subsequent vote or staff report, the timeline for any final action on the rezoning was not specified in the transcript.
