From the meeting
At its August 10, 2026 meeting, BLEDA backed Tax Increment Financing (TIF) support for Packaging Corporation of America to build a major manufacturing facility on newly annexed property. The project was described as a roughly $250 million private investment with 550,000 square feet and about 125 new jobs. The City Council still had to consider the TIF district and plan, so the decision was not final.
The useful sales angle is support for site development, financing administration, and project implementation if the package moves ahead.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Big Lake's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
