New development planned for Humboldt

The Humboldt City Council acted on two items that could make way for new developments in the city — one involving industry and one involving housing during its regular meeting on Monday, Sept. 8. The council agreed to set a public hearing for Monday, Sept. 22, at 5:30 p.m., for land located in block 15 in the Lathrop’s Addition in the city of Humboldt. City Administrator Aaron Burnett reported that developer/builder Troy Schrom with TSB Construction of Mankato, MN, plans to develop two six-unit townhouse apartment complexes to the northwest of the recently completed 8th Avenue South street and cul-de-sac. The council also set a public hearing for an amendment and restated development agreement with the Humboldt County Development Association (HCDA) and A.P. Air Inc. The local company has agreed to take possession of the former Voyager Aluminum plant in the Northwest Industrial Park. That public hearing will also take place at the Sept. 22 council meeting.
