Committee of the Whole Meeting - February 24th, 2026

1. The City of Geneseo and J.F. Edwards Construction Company have made measurable progress regarding the proposed expansion of the company’s operations along Chicago Street and Ford Road. J.F. Edwards Construction Company has formally submitted a petition to annex approximately 19 acres of property into the corporate limits of the City of Geneseo.

The annexation petition enables the City Council to proceed with consideration of a resolution to establish a public hearing for the creation of a proposed Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District. The proposed TIF District would assist in funding the extension of sanitary sewer infrastructure and construction of a lift station necessary to serve the planned development on the annexed property.

In addition, approval was granted for an engineering services agreement with IMEG Corp. for the design of the sanitary sewer extensions and a lift station. The proposed agreement provides for services in an amount not to exceed $117,300. The cost of these services will be paid from the City’s General Fund.
