Grand Prairie Park Up for Vote, Development

People in Grand Prairie have the chance to decide whether the city can sell park land for business development.[[399470731,C]]

Voters will take a side on Proposition 1, which proposes the sale of approximately 24 acres of the 172 acre Central Park development project.

The land, which sits along Texas 161 between Arkansas Lane and Warrior Trail, is city-owned park property.

However, if the Proposition 1 is not passed, the City of Grand Prairie still has the opportunity to lease the property, clearing the way for potential development of mixed business retail space.

By the end of 2017, residents could see restaurants (fast food chains or sit-down dining), retail shops, or a hotel.

The money gained from the sale of the land will go back to the park’s department.
