01 / The recorded outcome

What happened

Yorkville’s project page identifies Pioneer Development’s Project Cardinal, seven parcels totaling about 305 acres northwest of IL Route 47 and Galena Road, and explicitly dates the annexation agreement approval to November 10, 2025, Ordinance 2025-78 YC1. The City’s archived petition ledger lists related Project Cardinal PUD ordinance 2025-77 and later 2026 amendments while distinguishing Prologis’s separate Project Steel YC2.

04 / What this record does not establish

The boundary of the finding

  • The city page recaps the adopted ordinance; signed ordinance text was not extracted.
  • An approved annexation agreement does not prove construction, power capacity or completion of all permits.

Latest cited status: As of City archived ledger checked September 29, 2026; 2026 amendments listed, recorded agreements pending.

One property. A dated record. A clearer next move.
