Galveston Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone 12

The City of Galveston Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone 12 Board of Directors voted today to approve an agreement with Knudson & Associates to provide administrative, management and consulting services to the zone.  

Chair Steve Schulz named himself, Galveston County Community Services Director Curtiss Brown and Sterling Patrick of the City of Galveston to a committee to review $43,868.88 in administrative invoices from K&A for consideration at the next meeting.

TIRZ 12, the Gateway Zone, is in the area north of Broadway where the new Galveston County Justice Center is being constructed.

"The cotton warehouses in that photograph are not there any more," reported Galveston County Community Services Director Curtiss Brown, updating the board on the justice center development. 

Brown said the entrances to 59th and 54th, the streets bordering the development on the east and west, will be reconstructed in the project, "but we are not going to do that before we build our buildings."

Avenue H is currently being extended to serve the facility.

Brown said November 2005 is the likely completion date for the project.
