Leeds City Council approves Aldi development agreement; construction expected this spring
Summary
The Leeds City Council unanimously approved Resolution 2026-02-05 to allow Aldi to develop a store in Leeds; Aldi representatives said construction is expected to begin in early spring with an opening by year-end.
The Leeds City Council on Feb. 23 unanimously approved Resolution 2026-02-05, authorizing a development agreement with grocery retailer Aldi for a new store in Leeds.
Aldi representatives told the council the project is on schedule, that construction is expected to begin in early spring and that the store is anticipated to open by the end of 2026. The council voted to adopt the resolution on a motion by Council Member Sabrina Rose, seconded by Council Member Cary Kennedy; Mayor Eddie Moore and all council members recorded yea votes.
The development agreement was considered during a public hearing at which the Aldi representatives summarized the project timeline and plans for the site. The council also handled routine business earlier in the meeting, including approving minutes from Feb. 9 and the payable list for Feb. 23 (with the removal of a Cork Hill invoice).
The resolution's approval authorizes the city to proceed under the terms described in the agreement; the transcript does not specify additional terms such as tax incentives, infrastructure commitments, or public benefits. The council did not record any dissenting votes.
The council adjourned at 6:38 p.m.
