ACTION REQUEST (Brief Summary)

Consider and Take Action on Resolution 17-25 authorizing the TCEDC Chair to purchase Property In Trust properties in the 400 block of Martin Luther King.

Here is the info on those two parcels:

Lots 9 thru 11, Blk 61, Texas City
Vacant lot 400 blk of E. Martin Luther King Ave.

With this purchase the TCEDC is in a position to exchange property with Eastman Chemical in order to facilitate the sale of the property of Eastman's property to Ami Barzilay, who needs additional land to meet the IBD requirements for landscaping and open space so that he may redevelop a vacant building on Texas Ave into a storage warehouse for industrial use.  The TCEDC will be made whole in the exchange.
