Tax incentives worth up to $1.2 million for a planned $63 million, fully automated logistics facility in Council Bluffs won approval Friday from the Iowa Economic Development Authority.
XTL Inc., a Philadelphia-based logistics firm that has properties at the ports of Houston, Philadelphia and Newark, New Jersey, in addition to trucks, trailers and warehouses across the U.S., plans to hire 50 employees at the Bluffs site.
The company still has to receive rezoning approval from the Council Bluffs City Council for the 185,000-square-foot facility on a 51-acre site at the northwest corner of Highway 275 and South 24th Street. The council will consider the request at its Monday meeting.

Coldstorage Facility
Council OKs TIF for coldstorage facility
The project will be built on vacant ground at the northwest corner of Veterans Memorial Highway and South 24th Street. Construction could start this spring and would create 50 jobs initially when completed in a year, according to Mike Dellinger, an economic development official for the Council Bluffs Area Chamber of Commerce.
The project will involve a 155,000-square-foot cold-storage structure on 51 acres offering warehousing and distribution support to major food processors in the area, Dellinger said
Part of the building could be up to 135 feet in height, Dellinger said. Equipment, such as air conditioning units, could be placed on top of that so long as the total height doesn’t exceed 150 feet, he added.

Re: Coldstorage Facility
They are currently pouring a 10" thick insulated slab. The concrete subcontractor, JR Barger, has been taking drone videos of the process. Here is a recent one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAcJLE1EHtE
Thinking there's not a whole lot to say anymore now that people listen & she has to make sense.

Re: Coldstorage Facility
Drove by this past weekend. It appears that there is no activity going on for construction. Only the footings that were poured last fall. Wonder if this project is still in the works.

Re: Coldstorage Facility
I have been wondering the same thing, I noticed a while back they took the construction office trailer from the site, haven't seen anything going on there in a while.skinzfan23 wrote:Drove by this past weekend.

Re: Coldstorage Facility
From a Nonpareil article today:
A cold-storage facility along Veterans Memorial Highway could start construction in November, Walsh said.

Re: XTL Robotics Park
There was supposed to be activity last spring, but there's been total silence on this for about 18 months now.Mjs5050ss wrote:Anybody know anything else on this. 2 years going with just a concrete pad?

Re: XTL Robotics Park
Only two things at the site, are the foundation/warehouse floor and a sign for the project. The construction trailers that were there are long gone, it would seem at this point that it may have fallen though since the site is empty and there has been no information on iticejammer wrote:There was supposed to be activity last spring, but there's been total silence on this for about 18 months now.Mjs5050ss wrote:Anybody know anything else on this. 2 years going with just a concrete pad?

Looks like the owner of the lot "Ootzie Properties -- CB, LLC" filed for Bankruptcy in September 2018.
