WASHINGTON CO. COMMISSIONERS TO DISCUSS PROJECT BLACK SPOTS
Washington County Commissioners will potentially move forward with an economic development project discussed during several executive sessions at their meeting Tuesday.
The court will seek to authorize the Brenham | Washington County Economic Development Director, Susan Cates, to negotiate an economic development incentive to Project Black Spots up to the amount and with the terms specified by commissioners during their executive session on October 7th.
The project has only been described thus far as one involving a business seeking to locate, stay or expand in Washington County. It has been the subject of three closed-door meetings for commissioners since September 24th.
Also at Tuesday’s meeting, the court will consider:
- A proclamation declaring October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month in Washington County.
