Community and Economic Development Committee for 11/9/2026

The City of Troy Community and Economic Development Committee met November 9, 2026, to consider three items. It recommended emergency legislation for the expedited annexation of approximately 53.483 acres from Concord Township on Wilson Road, associated with Bogal Investments LLC. The legislation would provide for municipal services and buffering consistent with city requirements; later rezoning would be considered separately. The committee unanimously supported proceeding on an emergency basis because of the annexation timeline. It also considered a Unified Development Code amendment limiting the number of tobacco, vape, and cigarette specialty retailers to the existing seven and defining cigar shops as a separate use. Accessory sales at businesses whose primary use is something else, such as gas stations, would not count toward that limit. The Planning Commission recommended the amendment unanimously; a public hearing was scheduled for December 7, and no emergency legislation was requested.

The committee also considered a Community Improvement Corporation (CIC)-recommended property transaction in the Experiment Farm Town Park/TIF area. The CIC supported an agreement at appraised value, with possible paths including selling part of the property to an adjacent owner for access, selling the full parcel to another business following due diligence, or holding it for future opportunities. Emergency legislation was requested to enable completion by year-end, and the committee unanimously supported proceeding on that basis. The transcript does not clearly establish the precise structure of the transaction; no specific dollar amount was stated.
