# Adams County Board of Commissioners -- Oct. 06, 2026

The Adams County Board of Commissioners’ Oct. 6, 2026 meeting included approval of a six-year economic incentive agreement for RK Industries’ headquarters relocation to Aurora. The company plans an approximately $49 million investment and is expected to create 772 jobs with an average annual wage of $89,447. The agreement provides a rebate of up to 50% of eligible county personal-property taxes, subject to employment and wage requirements; the presentation cited differing tax and rebate estimates, so no single total is reported here. The board also approved the Brandon 60th Place minor subdivision final plat and associated improvements agreement. These were incentive and land-use actions, rather than competitive procurement awards.

The board approved conditional use permits for the Prairie Pass battery energy storage facility and associated substation, a proposed 300 MW project. Before any building permit is issued, the applicant must provide financial assurance for decommissioning in a form and amount acceptable to the Community and Economic Development director. The applicant anticipates construction beginning in summer 2027 and operation by the end of 2028. No RFP, vendor selection, or purchasing award was identified.
