In an effort to expedite redevelopment efforts, the City has entered into an informal agreement with a Development Team consisting of Ryan Construction, Rehbein Companies and Centex, for the redevelopment of the 650'acre western parcel. Under this agreement, the City will acquire the parcel from the DOD and then sell or lease the parcel to the Development Team for mixed-use redevelopment. Through this process, the City will achieve the land use goals of the community while also enhancing the tax base of the City.
