<br /> . e <br /> City of La Porte <br /> Established i 892 <br /> January 3, 1996 <br />Mr. Bob Zincke, President <br />The Kroger Co. <br />16770 Imperial Valley Drive <br />Houston, Texas 77060 <br />Dear Mr. Zincke: <br />Thank you for visiting with Mayor Malone and myself on December 13, 1995, <br />In our meeting with Mr. Obermeier, it became clear to us the proposed Kroger store you plan to build is still very <br />high on your priority list. We certainly understand the store's merit depends on financial margins that make good <br />business sense. <br />During the meeting, I pledged that I would use my strongest support and ask the La Porte City Council to consider <br />returning some of its resources obtained from street and alley closings from lA.C./Kroger back into this project by <br />way of infrastructure improvements in one or more of the following areas water, sewer, drainage or transportation. <br />The City is limited in what it may do in order to promote economic development within targeted areas. <br />Without knowing what the final site plan will be for your development or having been provided with some <br />engineering estimate, I agreed that I would recommend the City consider contributing up to $70,000 for enhancement <br />along Fairmont Parkway or SH 146. By doing so, the City will have input on how best to insure our citizens can <br />visit your store safely and also to promote the development of other amenities in that immediate locale, <br />Once your site plans are finalized and you have closed on your property, please let me know and I will begin to meet <br />with the La Porte City Council. <br />Sincerely, <br />6<~ T ~ <br />Robert T.
