The Beloit City Council has authorized the survey and platting of the North Campus Development area. The action by the city is the next step in the process of developing the former Beloit Juvenile Correctional Facility property. It opens many new opportunities for the community.
The site will include 12-15 acres for new housing develop directly west of the former correctional facility campus. It will also include 8-10 acres along U.S. Highway 24 for commercial development and approximately 20 acres of land directly north of the campus for mixed use development of housing, and light commercial businesses.
The City is in the process of having the property platted and rezoned. Mitchell County Community Development Director Murray McGee says he has already been contacted by people interested in both the residential and commercial property along the highway.
The city will be working over the next few months to determine how they plan to market and sell the land for development.
Parties interested in the development can contact McGee at 785.738.2717 or 785.569.1465.
