The NORTH CORRIDOR PLANT CONSOLIDATION PACKAGE 1B PROJECT is part of a consolidation and closing of four wastewater treatment plants (Northgate Wastewater Treatment Plant, Imperial Valley Wastewater Treatment Plant, Northborough Wastewater Treatment Plant, and MUD 203 Wastewater Treatment Plant) and diverting flow from those plants to Intercontinental Airport Wastewater Treatment Plant through a newly constructed 54 inch sewer line.
This eminent domain proceeding involves the acquisition of two permanent easements containing a total of 51,772 square feet. The property is owned by the two related entities of LIT Industrial Limited Partnership, a Delaware Limited Partnership and LIT Industrial Texas Limited Partnership, a Delaware Limited Partnership. Both entities are part of Clarion Partners, a New York City based REIT. The property is located at 1517 Greens Road. Efforts by Public Works and Engineering to negotiate the purchase failed, and the matter was referred to the Legal Department to initiate eminent domain proceedings to acquire the needed property. The Legal Department filed the eminent domain case and a special commissioners’ hearing was held.
