Cameron County authorizes RFP for upscale resort hotel on Andy Bowie Park land
Summary
Commissioners authorized advertising an RFP to seek proposals for a full-service upscale resort hotel on roughly 8.56 acres of county-owned land within Andy Bowie Park on South Padre Island, subject to legal review.
The Cameron County Commissioners Court voted June 30 to authorize advertisement of an RFP for the possible development of a full-service upscale resort hotel on approximately 8.56 acres of county-owned land in Andy Bowie Park on South Padre Island.
The judge read the item describing the site’s proximity to Beach Access No. 2 and the South Padre Island Convention Center and noted the parcel falls within a federally designated opportunity zone. The motion to authorize the RFP passed with a second and the court approved the action "subject to legal" review.
County leaders said the authorization would allow the county to solicit development proposals and only advance a transaction with further legal and public-review steps.
