More than 100 acres in Kaufman have been purchased for industrial development.

The city’s economic development arm acquired the property along Highway 175 from the Trinity Valley Community College Foundation, according to a news release. The site is expected to support the construction of 1.2M SF of new industrial facilities and generate approximately $340M in private investment.

“As Kaufman witnesses unprecedented growth, the Kaufman EDC board recognizes the need to accommodate new corporate citizens as people continue to move to our city,” Kaufman Economic Development Corp. Board President Charles Gillenwater said in a statement. “We are grateful to Trinity Valley Community College for their partnership and the tremendous impact it will have as we strive to make our community a better place to live, work and do business.”

The Kaufman EDC plans to use the site, which also includes an adjacent 40 acres, to attract targeted industries, including advanced manufacturing, food and beverage processing, metal fabrication, data centers and cold storage.

The purchase also included a commitment from the Kaufman EDC to support the renovation of buildings on the TVCC campus to accommodate workforce and corporate training space, according to the release.

THIS AND THAT

Volunteers and supporters of the Apartment Association of Greater Dallas spent Nov. 10 building a climate-controlled space for participants in the Austin Street Center’s Sisterhood Program. The AAGD also donated $7K to the organization, which helps women experiencing homelessness who have also faced barriers such as abuse, exploitation, substance use and illness. The Sisterhood Program helps participants gain the tools needed to rebuild their lives through case management, classes, training, counseling, peer support and assistance with obtaining housing.
