"Hundreds of millions"?

The Schulmans have invested hundreds of millions in the community?

Let's make a list of everyone that has spent that kind of money on this community:

Texas A&M System and/or University


Who else am I missing?

Maybe the Schulman's are investors in the Mayor's nuke reactors? And longhorns?
Too bad the WTAW host didn't say "please expand on the hundreds of millions invested locally.."

You know the best part? It's not even the first time the Schulmans ran out on Bryan leaving an empty, unusable movie theater.


Nowhere near the same thing.

Dont forget the former Plaza 3 Theater on Southwest Parkway that the Schulmans walked away from.

Was that the one that was behind Wendy's?

I saw Roxanne and Good Morning, Vietnam there in 1987.

The fact is is that cities, counties, and the State of Texas shouldn't be involved in building businesses on public lands that competes with private companies.

I'd support a large combined cycle unit or mixed unit generation station. The strange thing is, aside from the solar panel factory, they don't tend to want to attract anything else that is concrete.


Because, apparently we have a bunch of (well-intentioned?) idiots running the show in both cities.

Who would have ever thunk that a tire shop guy and part time rancher would make bad decisions about loaning $2M to other long-time friends and son of other local business owners?!?

Also, who would have thought that a 80+ year old career professor who never had a job outside academia would not know how to run a business friendly city that attracted quality employers?

Man, this is a real head scratcher. /s

This is the reason both CoB and CoCS employ capable (ahem) city managers and staff to manage the intricacies of the agreement.

If they were really good at business, they wouldn't be working for the city or needing the tax free advantage to make things work IMHO. The chances that anyone drawing a municipal salary really knows how to make a business deal work is near zero. Anything they have made work in the past was likely luck and resulting from the inherent advantage that a municipal agency has ……

Don Adam comes to mind.

That's about it, to my thought.

IMHO : Most "Deals" are a resume building opportunity for city staff and legacy creating task for elected officials. I wish I was wrong.
