Background/Discussion
192nd Street, south of E. South Omaha Bridge Road is located on the shared boundary of the City of Council Bluffs and Pottawattamie County.
Armstrong Industrial Park is located off of 192nd Street. The property is conveniently located approximately 1-mile from Interstate 29 (North & South) and 2-miles from Interstate 80 (East & West). It is also adjacent to Highway 275 with convenient access to US Highway 92. Highway 275 and Bunge Avenue (Mills County) are both feeder roads for 192nd Street. In addition, Union Pacific is within 1.5 miles of the site offering trans-loading facilities. The property is zoned I-1 for industrial development and currently has electric and water infrastructure.
Currently the City of Council Bluffs and Pottawattamie County are experiencing a high demand for industrial property with the availability of developable property being limited. The Armstrong Industrial Park will meet the need for small and mid-sized industrial users in this market. This development will provide an opportunity to expand on the attraction of businesses to the 192nd Street area adding to the businesses that are already in the area including Easton Trucking and Roll Right Tarps.
The reconstruction of 192nd will allow for future industrial traffic and the extension of the roadway into the development will provide for easy access to each of the planned lots. The proposed street improvements are to extend 192nd Street from East South Omaha Bridge Road, South approximately 2,800 feet to the South line of the NW quarter of Section 17, Township 74N, Range 44W and 6,044 feet of interior roads.
The total cost of the project is estimated to be $1,425,777.10. If the RISE Program application is successful, the proposed funding is $1,140,621.68 from RISE funds with the remaining match paid equally by the Developer and Pottawattamie County.
The City of Council Bluffs and Pottawattamie County will have joint responsibility for future maintenance.
