Butler County sets consultation and public hearing on proposed Amendment No. 9 to Logistics Park Urban Renewal Plan
Summary
The Butler County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 31-2026 on May 26, 2026, setting a consultation for June 3 and a public hearing for June 23 on a proposed Amendment No. 9 that would add parcels (including a 73-acre BMC Aggregates parcel) and road right-of-way to the Butler County Logistics Park Urban Renewal Area.
The Butler County Board of Supervisors on May 26 adopted Resolution No. 31-2026 to begin the public process for a proposed Amendment No. 9 to the Butler County Logistics Park Urban Renewal Plan. The consultation with affected taxing entities is set for 10:00 a.m. June 3, 2026, in the Second Floor Conference Room at the Butler County Courthouse; a public hearing is set for 9:00 a.m. June 23, 2026, in the courthouse basement meeting room.
The proposed Amendment No. 9 would add the road right-of-way of Butler County Industrial Park Road in Section 34 and several parcels in Section 34, including Tax ID 08-34-100-040 listed as “BMC Aggregates LC” (approximately 73 acres), Tax ID 08-34-300-045 (“Lot 1 – BLP East Addition”), Tax ID 08-34-300-043 (“Lot 2 – BLP East Addition”), and Tax ID 08-34-400-046 (“Mulder”). A copy of the proposed Amendment was placed on file in the county auditor’s office for public inspection, the minutes state.
The resolution directs the county auditor to mail consultation notices and the proposed Amendment to all affected taxing entities and to publish notice of the public hearing in the Butler County Eclipse and the Greene Recorder as required by Iowa law. The minutes cite Section 403.5, Code of Iowa, and state that affected taxing entities may submit written recommendations about the proposed division of revenue; the county’s designated representative, the executive director of the Butler-Grundy Development Alliance (or delegate), will receive recommendations and must respond in writing as provided by statute.
The notice included in the resolution outlines the general scope of the urban renewal activities the county may undertake if the Amendment is adopted: public financing or grants to private entities under Chapter 15A, construction or reconstruction of public infrastructure (streets, water, sanitary and storm sewer), acquisition of land for development, and possible issuance of bonds or use of other available funds, including seeking tax-increment reimbursement for urban renewal project costs.
Anyone wishing to comment at the June 23 public hearing may appear at that meeting and will be afforded an opportunity to be heard. The resolution and the proposed Amendment were entered into the record and signed by Greg Barnett, chair, and attested by County Auditor Leslie Groen.
