Title

Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Chapter 380 Economic Development Program Agreement with United Parcel Service, Inc.

 

Body

United Parcel Service (UPS) will build a new distribution facility in Round Rock, Texas. The regional expansion into Round Rock will provide additional operating capacity for UPS in the greater Austin area, alleviate pressure on the existing distribution network, and accommodate the future growth that UPS has projected for Central Texas operations. The new facility will be located on approximately fifty acres near S.H 45 and A.W. Grimes Boulevard on the west side of Schultz Lane in Round Rock.  A Section 380 Agreement was used as the incentive tool for this project.

 

This resolution approves the incentive agreement between UPS and the City.

 

Recommended Action

Staff recommends approval.
