BRENHAM CITY COUNCIL TO VOTE ON CREATING REINVESTMENT ZONE FOR DEL SOL FOOD CO.

  

The Brenham City Council will meet Thursday to potentially approve the creation of a reinvestment zone for a local company seeking to expand.

Del Sol Food Company, the maker of BRIANNAS Fine Salad Dressing, is requesting the zone for commercial tax phase-in incentive.  Following a public hearing, the council will vote on whether to designate 29.153 acres at 3015 and 3151 South Blue Bell Road as qualifying for tax phase-in.

According to the council agenda packet, Del Sol is looking to build out its facility to house a bakery division in order to increase the amount of capacity for its non-salad dressing product lines and purchase equipment to enhance automation.  The company has over 80 associates employed full-time and estimates the total capital investment of this project at $14 million.

Next for the council will be a work session to receive the Visit Brenham Washington County Destination Marketing Organization’s first quarter report for the current fiscal year. 

That will be followed by an executive session, where several items will be discussed: the Brenham Police Department’s operations and personnel; a demand letter received by the city; the possible purchase, exchange or acquisition of real property for sanitary sewer improvements and facilities; and Brenham Municipal Airport operations and services.  No action is slated to be taken.

The council will meet Thursday at 1 p.m. at Brenham City Hall.
