In September 2013, the City proposed annexing 15,608.98 acres (approx. 97 quarter sections) from the County to address land needs for the next 30 years. The City consumed an average of 52.53 acres annually from 2010 to 2012 and had 6,218.80 developable acres remaining at the end of 2012. While the City views this annexation as essential for growth, the County perceives it as a long-term strategy, seeking conditions that ensure the City meets its land needs for over 80 years, considering special circumstances around taxation and service delivery.
