City Of Milford Looking At Major Residential/Commercial Development Near New Elementary School Site

November 25, 2025

(Milford)– A major residential/commercial development is in the works on the northwest side of Milford, near the site of the new Okoboji Elementary School. The City Council Monday reviewed possible financing for a new sanitary sewer lift station. Mayor Steve Anderson says it would open up a wide area for development…

Anderson says there’s no doubt the construction of the new elementary school is spurring a lot of interest in that area…

The city council voted four to one Monday evening directing the city’s financial consultant to begin the process of amending an existing tax increment finance district that would help fund the $1 million lift station project.

Anderson says if things go accordingly, they’re hoping construction on the new lift station could get started sometime this coming summer. He says it likely would take about six months to complete.
