County approves federal and state rehabilitation applications for Cedar Creek Site 57
Summary
Kaufman County approved submitting a federal rehabilitation application and a state upgrade application for Cedar Creek Site 57 (FM 2728, former Baxter Ranch), with the county serving as contracting officer if awarded; official cited a $10,000,000 amount tied to the application paperwork in the record.
The county court approved two applications for Cedar Creek Site 57 — a federal rehabilitation application and a state upgrade application — and authorized the county to act as the contracting officer and manage paperwork if the projects are funded.
Mister Owen presented both applications and explained they apply to the same site on FM 2728 (the old Baxter Ranch). He said, "This is, located on FM 2728 on the old, Baxter Ranch," and that both applications are being filed because the state requires applying for the federal rehab as part of the upgrade process. The transcript records a dollar amount tied to the agenda language: "in the amount of $10,000,000."
Owen compared the project to another county rehabilitation at Warsaw, noting schedule and groundwater issues that have caused delays there and saying the Warsaw project now targets a June 2027 completion. Commissioners approved moving forward with the applications.
The court’s approval allows staff to complete and submit the federal and state applications and positions Kaufman County to act as contracting officer for project implementation if funding is awarded.
