7 p.m. January 26, 2010, Newton City Commission meeting

At Tuesday night’s meeting, the City Commission took another step forward with the Kansas Logistics Park project. The Commission approved annexation of a piece of property the City owns just east of the existing Newton Industrial Park and rezoned the property as general industrial district.

The Commission also rezoned a piece of property at 901 Sharps Drive from general industrial to general business district. The owner, Three-Ply LLC, hopes to turn the site into a privately owned and operated indoor sports competition center called The Railyard. Three-Ply hopes to begin work soon to renovate the existing building.

In other action, the City Commission:

  1. Appointed the City Clerk as the Freedom of Information Officer.
  2. Approved a request from Horizon Milling to use the public right-of-way for an elevated walkway connecting its existing facility to a new facility at the southeast corner of Broadway and Pine.
