An unused plot at a busy WF intersection to finally find a use

It’s a piece of land that has stood noticeably vacant on one of Wichita Falls’ busiest retail intersections for years. It appears it won’t be vacant much longer. The land, less than an acre at the intersection of Call Field Road and Lawrence Road, became the property of the city of Wichita Falls in 2011 when the city realigned the busy intersection. While businesses sprouted up around it, it remained barren, a desert in a retail forest. Part of the reason was the city being very choosy about what could be built on it. In 2022, the city posted a long list of no-nos for the acreage that included gas stations, pawnshops or check-cashing businesses. The city put it on the auction block on March 17, 2022. Smokestack Investments of Austin had the winning bid of $926,000. Wichita Appraisal District records show the land is owned by Desperado Investments LLC and is valued on the tax rolls at $864,000.

Coleman replaces Jeff Browning who is out on term limitations, and Reitsma will replace Tom Taylor, who dropped out of the race for reelection. The proposed TIF Zone No. 5 would be “to support the University Town Center (Sikes Senter) redevelopment and encourage additional private investment in the area," according to the agenda. TIF designations allow local governments to redirect property taxes collected within a certain area to pay for improvements in that area by using future tax revenues in the zone to pay for improvements, according to the Texas Comptroller’s Office. The money can be used to build public infrastructure, boost development and reimburse private
