At last week’s Winslow City Council meeting, a major step forward was taken in the development of the Winslow Commerce and Industrial Park, a 1,479-acre project located in southern Winslow led by Atlas Global Development. The council approved a rezoning request to designate the area as a preliminary Planned Area Development, or PAD, and finalized a development agreement to guide the project. The development agreement is essentially an extra set of rules put on a developer so that the city will be cooperative in developments that have a large impact on their communities. Although this is an important step in the process, ultimately the council will still need a final PAD with several bouts of additional information before a shovel ever hits that red dirt.
