San Antonio ISD scraps demands for $45 million building, $400,000 payments in land sale
The San Antonio Independent School District has scrapped the initial conditions it placed on selling land it owns so developers can build a new minor-league baseball stadium downtown. The district's board of trustees no longer is seeing $45 million to fund a new Advanced Learning Academy, $400,000 in annual payments and a spot for Superintendent Jaimie Aquino on the Houston Street Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone, according to a slideshow the district posted Friday online. SAISD issued the initial demands during a Nov. 18 board meeting where it discussed whether it would sell a 2.3-acre parcel that Weston Urban and the ownership group behind the San Antonio Missions baseball team needs if they are to develop a $160 million ballpark development downtown.
