The Austin area will soon have another mini-storage site.

The county board approved a conditional use permit Tuesday to build a storage facility on David and Carolyn Hillier’s property in Austin Township.

David said residential areas are expanding on the west side of town, and more storage units are needed.

The Hillier’s will transfer the land to their son, John, and he will operate the facility.

The board also approved a conditional use permit for a 190-foot meteorological tower for enXco to test the wind in Lodi Township.
