Additional Backup Information:
Austin Energy is building a new transmission line to support development in the southeast region of the service territory. This new line will connect to the planned Timber Creek Substation, which will serve the rapidly growing southeast area, including the Velocity Crossing development.
The most practical and cost-effective route for the transmission line includes this privately owned parcel. The purchase of this parcel will allow Austin Energy to accommodate its transmission line easement; the parcel may also serve as a construction laydown yard and provide other utility uses.
An independent, third-party appraisal was procured to establish the fair-market valuation of the proposed acquisition. The appraisal supports the purchase price of $275,000.
This acquisition is located within the City’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction.
