Altoona approves sewer extensions to serve NW development; city to be reimbursed by developers
Summary
The council approved agreements allowing the city to install sewer now in northwest Altoona (in conjunction with the Robinson project) with Marco Properties and I-80 Business Park II agreeing to reimburse the city when property sales or plats occur.
The Altoona City Council voted May 4 to authorize sewer extensions in the city’s northwest growth area, approving separate agreements that will have the city install sewer now and be reimbursed later by the developers.
Community Economic Director Chad Quick described two agreements: an Economic Development and Infrastructure Agreement with Marco Properties LLC and a Petition, Contract and Waiver with I-80 Business Park II, LLC. Both agreements fund sewer extension work as part of the larger Robinson project; the city will construct sewer infrastructure up front and the developers will reimburse the city when the property is sold or platted. The council approved both measures by unanimous roll call (5-0).
Quick said the approach enables coordinated construction in the northwest Altoona area and allows the city to extend service now rather than waiting for later development. The agreements require reimbursement to the city once land sales or plats occur; the meeting record did not specify reimbursement timing or financing details.
Council members did not record conditions or amendments to the agreements during the meeting. The measures were approved as presented.
