Body

Summary: 

At the regularly scheduled City Council meeting on August 6, 2024, action was taken to approve ordinance no. 4541 amending the City’s Texas Enterprise Zone Program ordinance per T.A.C. Rule 176.2(2)(A) and nominating Rohm & Haas Texas Incorporation to the Office of the Governor Economic Development & Tourism (EDT) through the Economic Development Bank as an Enterprise Project.

Upon Rohm & Haas Texas Corporation’s project application submission, they were notified of a deficiency due to a lack of designation termination date from the Office of Governor Greg Abbott.  They received a deadline for amendment and resubmission of their application of November 8, 2024, and have requested the City of Deer Park amend ordinance no. 4541 to be reflective of a termination date.

Staff and legal both have reviewed and recommend Council’s approval.
