Commissioners approve tentative agreement with Crandall for "Project Grand Slam" after closed session
Summary
Following executive session on economic development negotiations, the court reported a tentative agreement with the City of Crandall and its EDC regarding Project Grand Slam and approved the tentative deal conditionally.
The Kaufman County Commissioners Court entered executive session to discuss two items: a network-security matter and economic-development negotiations related to an initiative the court identified as "Project Grand Slam." After returning to open session, the court reported it had reached a tentative agreement with the City of Crandall and its economic development corporation limited to the Grand Slam project if the project comes to fruition.
In open session the court described the agreement as tentative and conditional. A motion to approve the tentative agreement was moved, seconded and carried in open court. Commissioners emphasized the conditional nature of the approval and said the agreement would be acted on further only if the proposed project advances.
No additional contract terms were read into the public record at the time of the vote; the court said the approval authorized the tentative arrangement described in executive session and would be finalized only on successful project development.
