Winnsboro EDC votes to convey portion of 1220 East FM 852 to city

The Winnsboro Economic Development Corporation voted to convey a portion of property located at 1220 East FM 852 in Winnsboro to the city of Winnsboro to accommodate an AOS system, the board decided at its meeting.

Board members said the parcel is contiguous to the airport on the south/east side and that the transfer is intended to accommodate the AOS system. One board member said the Economic Development Corporation was transferring the parcel to the city “because I saw it was at $10.”

During discussion, a board member described the parcel as “that piece that they needed” and noted its contiguity to the airport. The presiding officer said he had “no trouble with it” before moving the board to approve the conveyance. The presiding officer made the motion: “I move to approve the conveying of a portion of the property at 1220 East FM 852, Winnsboro, Texas to the city of Winnsboro.” A second was offered and the board approved the motion by voice vote.

The action was taken on agenda item 6.2. No vote tally by name or roll-call totals was recorded in the public portion of the meeting transcript. The board discussed the intended purpose (accommodating the AOS system), location (contiguous to the airport, south/east side) and the apparent nominal transfer price; further legal documents or deed references were not discussed on the record.

No implementation timeline, deed language, or related intergovernmental agreement was provided in the transcript. If the city must record or publish deed or easement documents, that step was not discussed during the public portion recorded here.
