Council authorizes sale of industrial tract to Krebs Brewing Company consistent with grant conditions
Summary
Council authorized the interim city manager to complete sale of a 12.3-acre tract in the Steven Taylor Industrial Park to Krebs Brewing Company, following Oklahoma Commerce approval tied to prior CDBG funding.
The McAlester City Council voted to authorize the interim city manager to complete the sale of a 12.3-acre tract inside the Steven Taylor Industrial Park to Krebs Brewing Company, executing terms that the brewery exercised under a 2017 lease option.
City staff told the council the sale is partially funded with a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), and the city obtained approval for the sale in a June 17, 2025 letter from Oklahoma Commerce (CDBG program). Interim staff said the transaction follows terms embedded in the original lease; the council’s action authorizes the manager to finalize the purchase-and-sale documents under the conditions approved by the state agency.
The motion to authorize the sale passed unanimously by roll call following a motion by Councilor Gilmore and a second by Councilor Boatwright. The council recorded yes votes from the present members; staff said the packet contains the Commerce approval letter dated June 17, 2025.
Ending: Staff will complete closing steps consistent with the lease and the Oklahoma Commerce CDBG approval; no additional council conditions were noted at the meeting.
