Developer Interest Revives Carroll's Golfview Subdivision

Mar. 21, 2026 at 6:30pm

A proposed housing development along the western edge of the Carroll Municipal Golf Course is back on the Carroll City Council's agenda after a contractor, Kerkhoff Kraftsmen, Inc., approached the city several months ago wanting to revive the previously stalled Golfview Subdivision project. The council will consider creating an urban renewal area that includes only the planned Golfview subdivision, and will adopt a resolution setting a public hearing date for the proposed land sale and development agreement with Kerkhoff Kraftsmen.

Why it matters

The Golfview Subdivision project had previously faced resistance due to the high cost of the required lift station, as well as issues with buried natural gas lines. The city's renewed interest in the development highlights the ongoing demand for new housing in the Carroll area and the city's efforts to spur economic growth through strategic land use and development agreements.
