Meeting timeline (5)
Joint Review Board — July 30, 2026
A proposed mixed-use TID covering a large east-side development, with about $63 million in public infrastructure financed through an $11 million city borrowing, a pay-as-you-go developer incentive, and a 15% IRR look-back provision. The JRB approved the creation resolution 5-0 after public testimony.
Common Council — July 15, 2026
Creation of TID 14 and approval of the development agreement, reimbursement amendment, and $1 fire station option for the roughly 580-acre Thrivent-area mixed-use development.
Common Council — June 3, 2026
The council was set to approve the TID #14 project plan and boundaries but held it so the tied development agreement with Thrivent/Northmeadows can be voted on at the same future meeting.
City Plan Commission — May 13, 2026
Creation of a roughly 500-acre mixed-use TID on the Thrivent property to fund infrastructure and a developer incentive for a master-planned development; heads to the Common Council June 3.
Joint Review Board — May 13, 2026
A proposed ~500-acre mixed-use TIF district on the Thrivent property, with phase one infrastructure of about $11.6 million and a $14 million pay-as-you-go developer incentive. The Joint Review Board only reviewed it — no action was required or taken.
