# Sedro-Woolley City Council Study Session for October 7, 2026

The City of Sedro-Woolley City Council held a study session on October 7, 2026. Procurement- and development-related discussion focused on a proposed development agreement with RJ Group for the Batty Square mixed-use project. The agreement would reset and clarify permit schedules and defer certain impact fees until later project milestones to support financing and construction scheduling; the city expects a $50,000 contribution toward Genie Field improvements as consideration. Staff noted that $750,000 in Skagit County Economic Development Initiative grant funding supported related street and infrastructure work. The agreement was not approved at this session; a public hearing was scheduled for October 14. No spending or contract-award vote was taken.
