The Plainview City Council meeting on June 24, 2025, focused on a significant economic development initiative involving a Chapter 380 agreement with RTJ for the construction of a new HTO facility in the city.

During the meeting, the council discussed a proposed incentive of $25,000 aimed at supporting the creation of 16 full-time equivalent jobs. This financial support is intended to assist with construction costs associated with the new facility. Council members noted that the city expects to recoup this investment within ten months through increased sales and property tax revenues generated by the new jobs and business activity.

The agreement stipulates that RTJ must complete the construction and obtain a certificate of occupancy before the city disburses the incentive funds. This requirement ensures that the city only provides financial support once the project is underway and job creation is confirmed.

The council voted unanimously in favor of the agreement, highlighting the potential positive impact on the local economy. The meeting concluded with a brief mention of upcoming infrastructure improvements, including the installation of new smart water meters set to begin in January 2024, which will further enhance city services.

Overall, the council's decision reflects a proactive approach to economic development and job creation in Plainview, aiming to foster growth and improve the community's financial landscape.
