Lake Isabella council to pursue Brownfield authority and land-bank talks for North lots
Summary
Council members agreed to continue discussions with the State Land Bank Authority, Isabella County, and Mount Pleasant about using a Brownfield Redevelopment Authority and a land bank to develop village-owned lots in Lake Isabella North.
The Lake Isabella Village Council on Feb. 17 received the 2025 Planning & Zoning annual report and consented to continue exploring tools to develop Village-owned lots in Lake Isabella North, including a Brownfield Redevelopment Authority and a local land bank.
Village Manager Wolff briefed the council on how tax-increment financing through a Brownfield Redevelopment Authority could support single-family housing development on village-owned parcels, and he said staff should involve a land bank to advance the project. Wolff asked for council consent to engage the State Land Bank Authority and to coordinate with the City of Mount Pleasant and Isabella County; the council gave that consent and asked staff to place the Brownfield discussion on the March meeting agenda.
Minutes record no public comments on the topic and do not provide details on specific parcels, estimated development costs, or draft financing terms. The council's consent permits staff to continue preliminary outreach and planning; any formal creation of a Brownfield Redevelopment Authority, use of tax-increment financing, or land-bank action would require future council approval and specific financing resolutions.
