Sherburne closes on parcel for new business park
SHERBURNE – Officials in the Village of Sherburne have steadily progressed on plans for a new business park, and with one major obstacle behind them, they hope to see more progress in the coming months.
Sherburne hopes the new business park will provide space for new businesses to locate. “We hope to attract businesses with our low electric rates,” Mayor William Acee said.
The business park will include space for a new electric department building, able to house the large bucket trucks that no longer fit into the 100-year-old building that is currently in use, a pole barn and the Village Department of Public Works. In addition, there will be plenty of room available for businesses to locate on the site.
Last Friday, the village closed on the first parcel of land, which was purchased for $120,000. The land will be sold in two parcels, totaling 68 acres for a total purchase price of $168,000. The property, located on Classic Street, was previously part of a working farm owned by Sherburne resident Larry Winton.
Acee explained the next step in developing the business park will be for the village to officially select a site engineer and to begin developing plans for the park. The village has internally selected an engineer, but official notification will not be given until the June 16 meeting of the Village Board.
The site engineer will determine where to place the sewer, water and electrical lines, plan for water drainage and determine infrastructure needs. “A key component to this site is to improve water drainage for the village,” Acee said. “Our hope is that we can alleviate flooding in the village.” Water drainage has been an issue at the current electric building over the years. Although Acee could not give specific details on how the plans would work, he explained the village hopes to use retention ponds to alleviate some of the water drainage and flooding issues.
Traffic in the area may also be something that will have to be looked at. Currently, Classic Street is home to some of the village’s large employers and is often used as a through street for traffic to and from the school. “We hope the Department of Transportation will expend funds to help us with any traffic concerns we may have,” Acee said. “The site engineer will need help to build roads into the park as well as electrical and sewer infrastructure into the park, and we hope the state can help.”
Although the business park does not currently have any definite clients, Acee said there has been interest and communication in regard to the site. “I’m optimistic that we will find tenants,” he said.
