The industrial park approval allows additional industrial lots, easements and related right-of-way changes on about 220 acres. The outdoor-storage permit supports a proposed facility expected to receive materials by truck and rail and operate around the clock, with shipping mainly during weekday daytime hours. The street and utility project is still in design; construction is not scheduled for a final decision until a later review.
