(KLZA)--Following lengthy discussions Monday night, the Falls City Council approved a non-disclosure agreement with Citroniq Chemicals and a confidentiality agreement with Cordia Development LLC.
Citroniq Chemicals is planning to build a 5-billion dollar plant south of Falls City to manufacture polypropylene pellets from ethanol. The vote was 6- 2 with Council members Josh Kaster and Frank Killingsworth casting nay votes.
Cordia is a Delaware based power generation company that works to find energy solutions and wants to explore entering into an agreement with the city for energy solutions. The agreement was approved on a 5-3 vote with Kaster, Frank Killingsworth and Kenny Killingsworth casting negative votes.
The Council also approved authorization of a commitment letter and submitting an application to the 2025 Civic and Community Center Financing Fund concerning the proposal to construct a Falls City Amphitheater Park in the 1500 block of Stone Street.
The projected cost of the project is $1.2 million. Falls City is seeking $562,000 in grant funds to use toward the project. An in-kind donation of land for the park has been secured by the City in an amount of $65,000. The City will also allocate nearly $164,000 from existing grants to fund streetscape and sidewalk improvements to the area.
