The St. Croix County Community Development Committee convened on June 19, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, including a significant proposal regarding the purchase of Lake Malibu properties.

The meeting began with a review of the agenda, leading to the first major discussion on item number seven, which focused on a request from Railroad Properties of Hudson LLC. The company proposed the development of land along the Lake Malibu Trestle. Committee members engaged in a thorough examination of the proposal, considering its potential impact on the community and the environment.

As discussions progressed, committee members raised questions about the specifics of the development plan, including its alignment with existing zoning regulations and community development goals. The committee emphasized the importance of ensuring that any development in the area would enhance local amenities while preserving the natural beauty of Lake Malibu.

The committee ultimately decided to gather more information before making a final decision on the proposal. They agreed to schedule a follow-up meeting to further evaluate the implications of the development and to hear from community stakeholders.

In conclusion, the meeting highlighted the committee's commitment to careful consideration of development proposals, ensuring that they align with the interests of St. Croix County residents. The next steps will involve further discussions and community engagement to assess the potential purchase and development of the Lake Malibu properties.
