Conditional use request to build a 43.7-acre battery energy storage facility in Munster with zoning change from Economic Corridor to Economic Growth plus Energy Storage Facility

A developer is seeking approval to build a battery energy storage facility on 43.7 acres in the Munster area. The project requires a Conditional Use permit and would change the zoning classification to allow this type of facility. This facility would store electrical energy for later use on the power grid.

Key points

  • 43.7-acre site in Munster
  • Conditional Use permit required
  • Battery energy storage facility
  • Zoning change from EC to EG

Why it matters: A utility-scale energy storage facility could affect traffic, noise, and the visual character of the neighboring area during construction and operation.
