City to Sell Former Incinerator Site for $1 Million

City Council approved the following motion after closed session on 4-19-22:

Council Member Thompson made a motion, seconded by Council Member Gonzales, to authorize the sale of 17.581 acres known as Lot 9D, Block 2, Section 9A Red Arroyo Hills Addition for $1,000,000 to E&B Bryant Properties, LLC 

This property is the former City incinerator and unauthorized dump site.  The City put it up for auction in July 2017.  

City Council tried to sell the land to the Development Corporation which declined after completing environmental studies and a remediation cost estimate.

The owner of E&B Bryant Properties owns a number of active companies. 

Council did not discuss the property or efforts made to remediate any toxins since the Development Corporation declined to buy the land in April 2018.

Time will reveal if the buyer retains the property for their use or flips it to another company.
