The Board of Pottawatomie County Commissioners unanimously approved three resolutions creating improvement districts for Nelson’s Ridge Unit 6 Development Phase 4 after brief public hearings on May 4.

Assistant County Administrator Heather Gladbach presented estimated costs during the hearings: $348,788.70 for sanitary sewer, $1,425,217.17 for streets and $245,567.40 for water. The board opened and closed each public hearing after calling for comments; none were recorded. The board approved Resolution 2026-18 (sanitary sewer), Resolution 2026-19 (streets) and Resolution 2026-20 (water) by 4-0 votes.
