MIDA says project requires landowner consent and a county development‑review committee
Summary
MIDA representatives told commissioners the project’s interlocal agreement includes creation of a development‑review committee with county representation and that 100% consent from participating landowners is required before MIDA moves forward in a project area.
MIDA representatives told commissioners the authority acts as a land‑use authority within designated project areas but that it does not act unilaterally: the organization requires alignment with landowners and local leadership and said it would only move forward where there is consent and partnership.
Venable said MIDA "require[s] 100% consent from all participating landowners, and the county," and described a development review committee that she said would include an executive leader from MIDA, six county subject‑matter experts and one nonvoting landowner. Commissioners expressed concern about where ultimate authority would sit and how disputes would be resolved; Venable and staff emphasized the interlocal agreement and the committee structure as mechanisms for county input and oversight during site plan review.
