Why it matters
City officials stated they have been exploring ways to generate additional revenue from portions of Belvoir Ranch that are not reserved for the city’s planned landfill and water development. The company is not currently asking for formal project approval or to annex the land, but rather an option-to-lease agreement to proceed with necessary studies.
Patrick Collins purchased Belvoir Ranch on July 1st to protect it for future infrastructure.
