Court approves extension to access agreement for proposed solar‑project land and moves on Trinity River Solar negotiations
Summary
After executive session the court approved a first amendment to an access agreement to allow LJA Engineering to conduct land‑suitability testing for a proposed land donation tied to a solar project, and discussed (and moved to discontinue) negotiations with Trinity River Solar 1 LLC for a tax‑abatement economic development agreement.
Returning from executive session at approximately 10:00 a.m., the Liberty County Commissioners Court announced several actions related to confidential negotiations.
County attorneys reported that the court approved a first amendment to an access agreement regarding a prospective land donation from Liberty County Solar Project LLC. The amendment extends the county’s existing access agreement until April 2025 to permit LJA Engineering to complete land‑suitability testing before the county accepts any donated land. County counsel characterized the amendment as an extension of the testing period and the court moved and passed the amendment by voice vote.
The court also discussed continued negotiations with Trinity River Solar 1 LLC on a proposed tax abatement and economic development agreement. The transcript records a motion to discontinue negotiations; the court conducted voice‑vote procedure and then took additional procedural motions, including an adjournment motion. The transcript indicates differing procedural preferences among members during that exchange; the matter is recorded as discussed and the court adjourned after concluding the meeting.
