HEDC seeks plans for Bass Pro-area development

HARLINGEN — The Harlingen Economic Development Corp. is seeking requests for proposal from private development firms to purchase or lease property to develop at the intersection of Dixieland Road and Bass Pro Drive.

The site is 2.37 acres, and zoned light industrial, although .91 acres is set aside for drainage considerations. HEDC has set these criteria:

  • Development on the site should contribute to the improvement of the quality of life for City of Harlingen residents and visitors.
  • Development should have positive fiscal benefits for HEDC and the City of Harlingen and enhance the tax base to help grow and sustain a more vibrant community. The scale, character, density and use of proposed developments should be compatible with and add to the vitality of Harlingen.
  • The proposed development must be financially viable.

A detailed list of requirements for the RFP can be found on the HEDC website at https://harlingenedc.com under the “Latest News” category.
