Tax Exempt Status for TAMU Private Dorm Draws Attention of County Commissioner

Texas A&M is eyeing a public-private partnership for a new private dorm.  The  $355 million project will be a “high end dorm” off George Bush Drive near Penberthy Road.

The Brazos County Commissioners approved the tax exempt status last week, 3-1. The lone nay is being vocal:

• “The problem that I see is that there’s no revenue coming in to the two cities who have to pay the bills, they have to pave the roads, they have to take care of the infrastructure, the wastewater, the regular water coming in.”
