Negotiations Underway to Review 25-Year Economic Development Agreement
What happened
Members of the Logan City Council met with Falls Township trustees to discuss the possible cancellation and replacement of a cooperative economic development agreement. The agreement, which was signed almost 25 years ago, outlines how shared tax revenues and city services are managed in areas of overlap. Specifically regarding the lodging tax, future revenues from new rental businesses in the agreement area are set to be split equally between the city and the township.

The agreement governs several issues, including new annexations into the city and the provision of city services. The terms require ongoing cooperation and joint planning between the two governmental bodies. The council noted that the agreement may have been largely ignored for much of its operational history.
In Logan, city council meetings are underway regarding various development issues, with the mayor addressing matters of infrastructure and finance.
