Westfield gives the green light to Northpoint II

After months of negotiations mediated by City of Westfield officials, the Northpoint II development on 180 acres at Anthony Road and Ind. 38 will proceed. Key points include:

• Approval and Development: Unanimously approved by the Westfield City Council on April 22, two weeks after being tabled due to language concerns.

• Lot Area: Minimum lot area of 7-to-10 acres to promote a campus-like development pattern, limited to warehouse and light industrial uses with indoor operations free from noise, odor, and light pollution.

• Forestation Area: A 10-acre preservation/forestation area with a 100-foot setback on the site perimeter. Developer Holladay Properties will maintain saplings for the first year, with the City of Westfield handling maintenance for the next two years.

• Economic Impact:

• $175 million in estimated assessed value

• $5 million in estimated annual tax revenue to the city

• $450,000 in annual tax revenue to schools

• Office and warehouse space along Ind. 38

• Additional Landscaping: A $70,000 stipend for up to seven homeowners to plant additional landscaping buffers.

• Community Cooperation: Mayor Scott Willis praised the cooperation among the city, residents, and developer, highlighting the unprecedented collaboration and significant benefits of the project.

• Background: Initially proposed in 2022 and shelved due to neighbor concerns, the development saw renewed discussions with a task force of impacted homeowners.
