At-a-glance: Franklin City CDA actions — July 23, 2026
Summary
On July 23 the Community Development Authority approved minutes from 11/20/2025, recommended a Yaskawa land-combination to the Common Council and adopted a site-plan resolution for a Yaskawa manufacturing facility; no public commenters spoke.
Key actions taken by Franklin City’s Community Development Authority on July 23, 2026:
• Approval of minutes: The authority voted to approve the minutes from November 20, 2025, by voice vote after a motion and second.
• Land combination (recommendation): The authority recommended that Yaskawa America Inc. combine two vacant lots in the Franklin Business Park (4801 W. Ashland Way, tax key 9000009021; 4701 W. Basswood Drive, tax key 9000009007). Staff reported the resulting parcel would be about 12 acres and recommended forwarding approval to the Common Council; plan commission review was scheduled that evening.
• Site-plan resolution (adopted): The authority adopted a resolution approving a site plan for a manufacturing facility at 4800 W. Ashland Way (tax key 9000009018). Staff described the project and recommended approval; the city attorney cited Planned Development District Number 18 when reading the resolution. The transcript included a staff reference to "25,000 square feet of mezzanine space." The transcript also includes unclear phrasing for the total building square footage noted in the presentation.
No members of the public spoke during the citizen comment period. The authority tentatively scheduled its next meeting for August 20 and then adjourned.
