- Following a Corpus Christi City Council meeting, the CCIDC will transfer the Salinas Park land back to the city.
- Approximately two acres of land will be used for the built of the new Fire Station No. 10, near the intersection of Horne Road and Greenword Drive.
The Corpus Christi Industrial Development Corporation will transfer the Salinas Park land back to the City of Corpus Christi following a meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 22.
Salinas Park is more than 90 acres of land and houses a baseball park and the existing Fire Station #10, near the intersection of Horne Road and Greenwood Drive.
Approximately two acres near the intersections will be used to construct a new fire station.
Because of response times and the needs of the department, the proposed fire station will be moved next to the National Guard Armory. The existing fire station is outdated and needs to be reconstructed.
Rachel Esses, the Senior Public Information Officer of Engineering Services, said there is no construction timeline as the project contract still needs to go out for bids.
