COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) – College Station City Council will meet Thursday night to discuss land deals near Costco and inside the Midtown Business Park, including a site tied to a proposed baseball complex<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The city is heading into executive session to discuss negotiations for roughly 28 acres near Costco in Midtown. Council will give city staff direction on the status of those negotiations.<\/p>\n

The city has been working with a developer on a plan for that land.<\/p>\n

Development vision<\/p>\n

The land near Costco in College Station\u2019s Midtown Business Park has been in the city\u2019s hands for years. Michael Ostrowski, City of College Station\u2019s chief development officer, said the plan for the area has continued to advance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe city owns 28 acres that we entered into, offered a purchase with a developer last year, and we\u2019re continuing the negotiations, continuing to flesh out the site plan of that site, as well as some of the potential users that could go there,\u201d Ostrowski said. <\/p>\n

The vision for the site draws inspiration from Century Square, with green space at its center and buildings surrounding it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we work with the developer, we\u2019ve got a development agreement that we\u2019re working with them on to create a larger green space on the site, similar to what you would see at Century Square,\u201d Ostrowski said. \u201cIt won\u2019t be as dense, but we\u2019ll have a nice green space in it that will allow people to congregate in that area, have some playscapes potentially, and then buildings would surround that green space very similar to what you see in Century Square.\u201d<\/p>\n

In February, the council approved a letter of intent for a nine-field baseball complex nearby, estimated to generate $28 million in economic activity each year.<\/p>\n

Ostrowski said a final agreement on the 28-acre site could come within weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re hopeful that we\u2019ll be bringing back the final agreement probably within the next month or two,\u201d Ostrowski said. \u201cSo as we get direction tomorrow, we\u2019ll go back and work with the developers for that potential project and get the development agreement ironed out as well as the purchase agreement. And then hopefully that\u2019ll be back in front of the council within the next couple of months.\u201d<\/p>\n

If the council takes a formal vote on these land deals in the future, it will be held in open session. Council will also discuss the options on what to do with the land they own at the Macy\u2019s at the Oakmont Mall.<\/p>\n
