Court directs staff to pursue airport business agreement with Terrell after executive session
Summary
Following an executive session on economic development (Project Youngblood), Kaufman County directed staff to pursue an agreement with the City of Terrell for a business at the county airport that would include a five-year abatement; legal review is required and the proposed agreement will return to the court in a few weeks.
After reconvening from an executive session under Government Code 551.087 to discuss economic development negotiations involving 'Project Youngblood,' the Kaufman County Commissioners Court directed staff to pursue a proposed agreement with the City of Terrell for a business to operate at the county airport.
The court described the proposed incentive as a five-year abatement consistent with the county’s guidelines. Commissioners instructed county legal staff to review the draft agreement; if the legal review returns the document in the same form presented, the court indicated it will vote on final approval in a subsequent meeting in a few weeks.
No final agreement or vote occurred at the meeting; the action authorized staff to negotiate and have legal review the proposed agreement prior to returning it to the court.
