Analysis
Epic West Towne Crossing, L.P., a Texas limited partnership is a developer who owns a tract of land on the east and west side of President George Bush Turnpike between Warrior Trail and Mayfield Road on approximately 85 acres of land. As an incentive to create a stronger retail tax base for the property, the City proposes a $2,450,000 incentive. The incentive would be provided in the form of a performance based Section 380 agreement which would require the construction of at least a 500,000 square feet of commercial uses permitted under City Ordinance No. 10301-2017.
As part of the program, and in exchange for Developer's covenant to comply with the conditions and requirements, City shall make a total economic development grant payment in the amount of $2,450,000; $1,225,000 to be payable within 45 days of the contract execution and the remaining $1,225,000 10 months from execution of this agreement, provided that Company is continuously and diligently pursuing completion of the Project as of such date.
