Rosemount, Minn.-CF Industries Holdings Inc. and Rosemount city officials have reached agreement on how any future expansion of the company’s fertilizer distribution center would fit into city’s long-range planning process, according to word from both sides. CF spokesman Charles Nekvasil told Green Markets that CF and the city have had numerous meetings and conversations on what the city is calling its 2030 plan. “We agreed that submitting a planned unit development would ‘memorialize’ our respective interests and objectives and ensure that there is a clear and abiding record of the opportunities and constraints associated with future use of the CF Industries site,” Nekvasil reported. He said the PUD submitted last month provides conceptual plans for potential development, although at this point the company does not have any specific plans for expanding its properties. Called the Pine Bend UAN Solution Terminal, the Rosemount center is one of the important elements in CF’s large distribution network. Situated in east central Minnesota near Minneapolis on the Mississippi River and close to several major highways, including Interstates 94, 35, 55, and 52, it can effectively serve key local agricultural markets for crops such as corn and wheat.
