Summary
A CIDC board member said a commercial broker reported sending an offer for land in Conroe Park North and had not received a staff response; staff and other members said inquiries should be routed to CIDC staff (Valencia) and reviewed by staff and leadership.
During the Oct. 23 meeting a board member raised concerns that a commercial broker who contacted the board had not received a staff response after trying to submit an offer for land in Conroe Park North.
The board member said the broker had tried to reach staff about a roughly 16-acre tract and had not received a callback in about two weeks. Board members and staff discussed the correct process for submitting offers and inquiries. Staff and two board members said the proper contact is CIDC staff (referred to in the meeting as Valencia), who prepares a packet for review by leadership.
Board members said CIDC has been active in selling land over the prior months and that inquiries often concern incentives and tax abatement rather than pure land purchases. One board member noted that some prospective buyers seek small parcels or incentives and urged brokers to be referred to staff for packet preparation and review by Mr. Scott and Ms. McCheska.
No formal action was taken; board members asked staff to ensure inquiries are routed promptly and said they were open to receiving offers. The discussion emphasized routing brokers to staff for documentation and packet preparation so leadership can review potential transactions.
