The proposed plot for Tevis Landing
In its next meeting Tuesday, July 27, the Beaumont City Council is set to vote on whether to approve the purchase of 555 Main St., the location of the former AT&T building; the first step in proposed plans to develop the riverfront area.
Citing the loss of riverfront property due to Hurricane Harvey, the corresponding agenda packet item proposes purchasing the vacant 3.68 acre lot for $2.785 million, further stating that “the additional acreage will allow for possible expansion of Riverfront Park; public spaces such as sidewalks; bike trails and other amenities for citizens and visitors. Once acquired, the City Council would be in control of the building and property and would decide the priorities and next steps.
The proposed sale would close Aug. 16, according to the meeting’s agenda packet.
