Plans for a warehouse development progressed after Lewisville City Council approved an interlocal agreement during their Aug. 21 meeting.

The gist

Alliance Industrial plans to construct an approximately 80,000-square-foot distribution warehouse at the southeast corner of State Highway 121 Business and Vista Ridge Mall Drive. The development will straddle the cities of Lewisville and Coppell. Most of the development is located in Lewisville, while a portion of parking and detention will be located in Coppell, according to the agenda item.

Explained

An interlocal agreement is the best option to allow a larger-scale and more cohesive development of the property, according to the agenda item. It outlines the responsibilities both cities have in regard to utilities, emergency services, and platting and permitting. The agreement was first approved during Coppell City Council’s Aug. 8 meeting.


Quote of note

“This is kind of a cool way to work with another city,” Lewisville Mayor TJ Gilmore said. “Coppell has always been good to work with.”
