City staff and developers say industrial park work is moving forward; two facilities could create 230–260 jobs
Summary
City staff and a presenter described progress on a roughly 60‑acre industrial park, with two manufacturing facilities expected to break ground soon and a projected 230–260 jobs when fully operational; staff said more commercial prospects are under discussion.
During opening remarks, city staff and a presenter gave an update on local development activity and an industrial park project.
A presenter described a previously announced 60–61‑acre land deal for an industrial park and said two manufacturing facilities are expected to break ground soon, aiming for the first facility by November and the second in the first quarter of next year. The presenter summarized potential employment: "when they're all up and running could be 230 to 260 jobs for our community." City staff also said other commercial prospects are in early meetings.
City staff introduced a new development services coordinator, Maggie, and said she will likely take an increased role in future meetings. The commission also received an update from the grant administrator that a street plan was finished and that someone will begin writing the comprehensive plan.
No formal actions on the industrial park occurred during the meeting; the update was informational.
