PINE ISLAND — The Pine Island City Council approved the orderly annexation of 74.2 acres of land from the western portion of the Elk Run development Tuesday night.

City Administrator David Todd said Tower Investments, the owners of Elk Run, paid $27,000 to New Haven Township for lost taxes on the parcels, and the city added the land to its borders.

“Once the development plan is submitted, it will have to go through planning and zoning,” Todd said. Tower has 24 months to submit a development plan for the land, but the company is “moving rather quickly so they can start platting.”
