Petitioners for the proposed city of Golden have sought to create a city to keep intermodal warehouses from being built on land used primarily for rural residential living and agriculture in northern Miami County. Planning Director Teresa Reeves told county commissioners Aug. 18 petitioners could use that strategy if the County Commission votes in favor of incorporation. The vote would have to be unanimous. The approximately 9-square-mile proposed city would be located north of Hillsdale Lake. Reeves told commissioners in her testimony during their Aug. 18 study session — as well as in her written responses to commissioners’ questions — that formal approval by the Miami County Board of County Commissioners is not required if the city of Edgerton, or any other city, annexes land in Miami County by consent.
