At its March 12 meeting, Montgomery City Council approved as part of its consent agenda—on which items are approved with one motion without discussion—an escrow agreement with H-E-B and authorized the city engineer to prepare a feasibility study.

The escrow agreement will ensure the grocer pays for the cost of the city engineer’s review of the civil site plans, which will cost $4,000, according to the March 12 agenda packet.

In a nutshell

H-E-B owns a 32.42-acre tract of land at the southeast corner of Hwy. 105 and FM 2854, according to the agenda packet. The grocer recently contacted the city about proceeding with the development of that site.

The feasibility study will analyze the city’s water, wastewater and drainage systems to see if any upgrades or utility extensions are needed.

Stay tuned

The feasibility study is expected to take a total of 47 calendar days, according to the agenda packet.
