In the cool of the evening, John Weaver and his wife sometimes go for a walk up Cedar Niles Road in northern Miami County. Weaver, who lives on Cedar Niles near 215th Street, said occasionally cars park along the road and people take photographs of the sunset. “As we get close, generally they ask ‘how often do you have sunsets like this?’ Of course our answer is ‘most every night.’” Weaver’s focus has been diverted from sunsets in the west to what’s happening just north of the county line, where NorthPoint Development is working with the city of Edgerton to annex and rezone land – most recently 640 acres – for proposed industrial warehouses that serve the Logistics Park Kansas City intermodal facility. He’s concerned about industrial development spilling into Miami County on land currently zoned for rural residential and agriculture use.
