Top issues during term (8)(Development)
The Nolte Project Downtown Redevelopment
Pre-development studies estimated near $200,000, borne by the developer unless the city terminates after Milestone A; parking costs remain the major financial variable.
ETJ Release for Karen Alden Properties
Minor — the city loses limited ETJ authority over one parcel.
Standalone parking lot at 601 East Gonzales
This should boost the local tax base and create new jobs right in our backyard.
Manufacturing workforce turnover study
The cost of the study wasn't stated in the published materials.
Growth and northside infrastructure
Multiple capital projects mentioned — road phases, fire station and park — with individual costs not stated in this discussion.
Tyson Foods Tax Abatement Continuity
No change to existing abatement terms.
TSTC Future Campus Project
Any incentive package for the project could involve public economic development funds; terms weren't published.
Land acquisition near Guadalupe and West Walnut
Undisclosed purchase price for approximately 0.31 acres.
