The city’s Municipal Development
District board plowed forward Thursday
with two ongoing discussions that
could revitaiize the downtown area.

The loan, he said, would fund
approximately 5 percent of the total
cost of the project,^yhich would range
between $1.5 million and $2 million.
Councilman/board member Sammy
Mahan said he supported Presley’s pro-
i ject but wanted to affirm that, if the
request is approved, it will be in the
form of a loan, not city funding.
’ “If we do this, it’ll be an interest-
bearing loan,” he said. “There are no
special projects and no favorites here.
The citizens of Baytown need to know
that we’re not giving taxpayer dollars .
away.” . ■
Councilman/board member Brandon
Capetillo agreed, but noting that once
complete, the project could bring addi-
tional revenue to the city through prop-
erty taxes. “The benefits of this type of
investment are that properties that are
now vacant would be on the tax roll,”
Capetillo said.
The site has an assessed value of
approximately $65,000 and is a “blight-
ed eyesore,” Presley said.
