LDFA reviews Amendment No. 5, adding Irving Road reconstruction, lift station work and Railroad Street engineering to plan
Summary
Staff presented Amendment No. 5 to the LDFA plan, which adds the Irving Road reconstruction, east lift station main replacement and lining, and Railroad Street engineering (with LDFA funds restricted to engineering tied to the industrial zone); board discussed timing, wellfield acquisition and gas-main extension but took no formal action.
Staff summarized Amendment No. 5 to the LDFA plan, which includes several capital items and project priorities for 2026 and beyond.
Amendment No. 5 specifically adds the Irving Road reconstruction project and the east lift station main replacement and lining. The Railroad Street improvement is included but staff noted LDFA funds can be used only for engineering costs that directly tie work to the industrial zone, with other construction expenses subject to village-council priorities. The board also discussed wellfield acquisition or construction and whether some projects should be moved between years; a potential well/tower in the back corner of a property was mentioned as a likely site for future well infrastructure.
Members also discussed a gas-main extension into the Crane Road area to serve a future industrial park. Staff said projections for a well and tower approach roughly $1 million in total scope, and that increasing tax capture will grow the LDFA fund balance and interest earnings. No formal action was taken on the plan amendment at this meeting; items are on the list for continued planning in 2026 and staff will return with additional details.
Next steps: staff will continue project planning and present more detailed schedules, cost estimates and any recommended year-to-year adjustments at future meetings.
