On June 27th, the BPNA successfully lobbied the City Council not to automatically approve a six-month extension for Minerva Partners, Ltd. to demolish the old city-owned buildings at Texas and Live Oak. The buildings have longbeen eyesores and graffiti magnets, and Angela Hunt and the rest of the council agreed – and they reduced the extension to three-months.
Even if development is delayed, Minerva Partners, Ltd. needs to keep its agreement to promptly demolish and clean-up any environmental issues on the property.
If this does not happen by the end of September, the BPNA will be back in contact with the city about enforcement of the deadline.
