One of those purchases included several parcels, which were purchased for $176,000 .
6 Investigates reviewed publicly available documents and requested additional documents from NCWCID #3 via a Public Information Request.
Those documents reveal that .11 acres were carved out of one of those parcels and sold to the district for $180,000 in October 2023.
That property is valued at $23,239, according to the Nueces County Appraisal District website.
The district’s board of directors approved this purchase after discussing it in executive session at its meeting on September 19, 2023.
