Sioux Center, Iowa — Economic development continues in Sioux Center.
The city is selling about a half acre of land to the Iowa DOT to improve access to the Highway Commercial Park in north Sioux Center. The DOT will build a turning lane to allow access at Highway 75 and 22nd Street. That new development area already has one tenant there. Ver Hoef Chevrolet is building a new dealership there, and will receive a five year property tax abatement.
Meanwhile it looks like Sioux Center could stand to get some more road use tax revenue if they can prove the city’s population is over 75-hundred people. They’re going to do a special census of the city to find out. If it is over that threshold, the city would be eligible for an additional 45-thousand dollars a year in road use tax revenue.
