At Tuesday night s meeting, the Killeen City Council voted to create a Public Facility Corporation that will make way for a new $51 million apartment complex in North Killeen near E. Veterans Memorial Blvd and WS Young Drive.
Mayor Jose Segarra cast the tie-breaking vote for both the creation of the PFC and rezoning the 22.54-acre piece of land that will be part of the North Killeen revitalization program. The City is in discussions with The NRP Group to construct the planned apartment complex.
According to the Killeen Daily Herald, the establishment of the public facility makes it only available to municipalities and not private developers.
