Description/History

The City owns approximately 4.22 acres along HWY 287 that had been considered as a site on which to build a Dallas StarCenter. 

 

The City determined a better site for the facility might be the land near or adjacent to the City property.  The City published a bid notice for the purchase or exchange of real property to find a more suitable site.  The bids were publicly opened on July 14, 2016.

 

Geyer Morris Company, LLC submitted a bid to exchange approximately 6.5 acres of real property currently owned by the Company and provide additional consideration of $2 million.

 

Justification

The exchange of properties along with the additional consideration has been determined to be a comparable value for the City property and provides the City with the best value.
