City Council Study Session 05/11/2026

The Riverview City Council held a study session on May 11, 2026, focused primarily on the redevelopment concept for the local golf course and adjacent landfill area. Consultants from the Bonner Advisory Group presented multiple design options for reducing the golf course to nine holes to free up land for residential development, including single-family homes and townhomes. The presentation included detailed financial feasibility analyses, projecting potential revenues, construction and development costs, and tax increment financing (TIF) opportunities to support infrastructure and public improvements. The council discussed the need for a carefully crafted RFP to select a development partner aligned with the city's goals, the timing for potential construction phases, and the importance of community engagement and a possible ballot measure to approve the redevelopment. Additional topics included the impact on local infrastructure, wetlands considerations, and the potential benefits to the school district. No formal votes were taken during this session, but the council indicated interest in moving forward with further planning and public education efforts.
