Council approves expansion of I‑77 corridor regional industrial park and infrastructure credit agreement
Summary
After questions about unit counts and public-space improvements, council approved expanding the I‑77 corridor regional industrial park boundaries and a public infrastructure credit agreement for DB Barlo Development LLC (Project Greg/Grid Street), with votes recorded by roll call.
Richland County Council voted to expand the boundaries of the I‑77 corridor regional industrial park and to authorize a public infrastructure credit agreement to DB Barlo Development LLC (identified in the meeting materials as Project Greg Street) after discussion and a close sequence of motions.
During the debate, councilmembers asked about the number of units and the scope of public-space improvements tied to the project; staff representative Jeff Rubel said he did not have complete answers at the dais and answered some questions only after follow-up. One motion to defer the item to the next meeting was proposed but failed; the council then returned to the motion on the floor and approved the item by roll call.
The public hearing on the matter had no registered speakers. Councilmembers who expressed concerns sought more detail about developer commitments to public improvements; staff said further information could be provided as the procurement and agreement process advances. The item passed on the council floor and will proceed to implementation steps under the project agreement and applicable intergovernmental approvals.
