Wal-Mart facility deal nets Texas school state revenue plan
Patterson chairs the deal to buy the Wal-Mart distribution center for 100 million and lease back 30 years. The Land Office expects 2.4 million for the school land board over the lease, with a buyback option after two years. The plan promises 7.22 percent ROI and shifts taxes to local entities, including Goose Creek district. Local leaders praise new tax base and jobs, saying the center will replace idle land.
