Rice County proposes a large industrial zone along I- 35. Previous to this proposal, an area on the west side of the interstate was designated Highway Commercial. The County has more than quadrupled the size, placed it on both sides of the freeway, extended it north and south, and is calling it Commercial Industrial.
The County has established a page on their website with information about the proposed 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
In addition to the county website, look at the Forest Economic Development Association (FEDA) website for information about the planning process.
For background information on the history of the area the County is now designating as Industrial see https://stoptheracetrack.com/ , which details some efforts to develop this land when it was designated Highway Commercial.
Prior to the official public comment period, the County is accepting input on the Plan during the month of October. As stated on the County website, emails may be addressed to CompPlanInput@co.rice.mn.us
