Local News: Update on Goshen Industrial Development

Goshen News logo

Plans for the construction of a major multi-facility industrial development on Goshen, Ind.’s southeast side took another step forward Tuesday during a meeting of the Goshen Plan Commission.

At the meeting, commission members voted in favor of passing a written order approving a declaratory resolution recently adopted by the Goshen Redevelopment Commission to amend the boundaries of the city’s Lippert/Dierdorff Economic Development Area and establish the boundaries and economic development plan for a proposed new College Avenue Economic Development Area.

According to Rhonda Yoder, planning and zoning administrator for the city, the declaratory resolution adopted by the RDC amends the Lippert/Dierdorff Economic Development Area by removing certain parcels of real estate located east of the railroad from the EDA, including three parcels in the new College Avenue Economic Development Area established by the declaratory resolution.

Those three parcels – known as tracts 1, 2 and 3 – are currently owned by development firm Last Dance LLC, and directly tied to the proposed major multi-facility industrial development.

According to Becky Hutsell, redevelopment director for the city, the former owner of the three parcels, Lippert Components, previously had Tract 3 annexed into the city in 2018 as part of a plan to use the site as the location of a $20 million facility focused on light manufacturing, research and development. That plan was later scrapped, however, and Last Dance purchased the parcel from Lippert last fall.
