The Leon Valley City Council on Sept. 16 authorized the city manager to negotiate and enter into an economic development agreement under Chapter 380 with Synergy Brothers LLC to support redevelopment at 6802 Bandera Road. The redevelopment plan presented to council envisions demolition of the existing building and construction of a roughly 4,200‑square‑foot, multi‑tenant commercial building anchored by a Little Caesars franchise.
Under the staff recommendation the city would provide a targeted package not to exceed $150,000 in incentives that combines direct economic development payments and reimbursement of demolition/permit costs over an agreed schedule; staff described a structure tied to permit milestones, demolition and a sales‑tax sharing arrangement (the city would remit 50% of incremental sales tax revenues to the developer until the capped incentive sum is reached). Synergy Brothers representatives said the total project cost is about $1.516 million and that the redevelopment will create about 25–35 jobs and payroll of roughly $700,000 within the local economy.
The council motion to authorize negotiation and execution was made by Councilor Campos and seconded by Councilor Heil; the motion carried without recorded opposition. Staff will return negotiated agreement language to the council for final approval and will track expected increases in sales and property tax revenue resulting from the new development.
