Development News from the latest meeting
Peru City Council 7-6-26
Published: Jul 6, 2026
City Council Approves Additional Appropriation Resolution for Various City Expenses
The City Council considered and approved Additional Appropriation Resolution Number 9-2026, which involves re-budgeting for various city expenses. This resolution was presented for informational and discussion purposes only during a public hearing and subsequently voted on during the regular scheduled meeting. The appropriations cover police and fire department AED devices, car repairs, recording upgrades in the council chambers (cameras and sound systems), the YMCA, and hometown celebration expenses, including fireworks and associated activities. The council confirmed these funds have been committed and are undergoing a rebudgeting process.
City Council Approves Resolution to Establish Economic Development Allocation Area
The City Council approved Resolution 7-2026, which is a step in establishing an allocation area for future economic development activities. This resolution supports a declaratory resolution and a revised economic development plan adopted by the Miami County Economic Development Authority. The purpose is to set up an allocation area, not to approve any specific project or financial incentive at this stage. The plan commission had previously approved a resolution supporting the declaratory resolution and confirming the benefit of this allocation area. A public hearing will be held by the Economic Development Authority to address concerns, followed by a confirmatory resolution. Council members raised concerns about communication and whether this was a precursor to a specific senior living apartment complex project, but the presenter clarified that the allocation area is a designation that allows for future development and potential tax increment financing (TIF) incentives, irrespective of any single proposed project. The resolution was adopted with three 'yes' votes and two 'no' votes.
City Council Imposes Temporary Moratorium on Data Center Development
The City Council considered and adopted Ordinance 8-2026, which imposes a temporary moratorium on the development of data centers within the city limits. This ordinance was largely based on a county ordinance, with an added exemption for telecommunications providers operating existing facilities within the city, specifically mentioning AT&T on Miami Street and Comcast on Chila Avenue, due to their wireless communication servers. The moratorium is intended to remain in effect until a formal ordinance with specific regulations for data center and hyperscale data center projects is adopted. The council expressed that this measure aims to prevent immediate, unvetted data center developments in industrial or commercial zones until a well-thought-out ordinance is in place, potentially taking 60 to 90 days to develop. The duration of the moratorium is indefinite until a new ordinance is established.
