Development Corporation 3-11-26

The City of San Angelo Development Corporation held a regular meeting on March 11, 2026, focusing primarily on economic development updates and ongoing projects. Key procurement-related discussions included updates on industrial recruitment projects such as Project Jefferson involving a 25-acre purchase at the Industrial Park for a metals recycling company, and Project Heavy Metal, which is tied to the same site. Other significant projects discussed were Project Falcon (a data center), Project Zeppelin (a $160 million battery energy storage facility), and Project Cold Creek (a renewable solar power plant with a potential manufacturing component). The meeting also covered business retention and expansion efforts, including support for local manufacturers and energy companies, workforce development initiatives, and collaboration with various economic development organizations. No formal votes or contract awards were made during the meeting, but several active negotiations and potential land sales were noted, including a closed session discussion about the sale of 8.5 acres in the industrial park to DLH Real Estate LLC. The meeting concluded with scheduling the next meeting for April 8, 2026.
