A 5-to-2 vote to approve a new land use designatiomn in partof Buda’s extraterritorial jurisdiction - after a unanimousa rejection of the land use change proposa l in April - paves the way for to build its 260,000-square-foog distribution center there. The company planas to close its East Austinm center and bring its roughly 250 employeex from thereto Buda, with plans to hire 100 more withi n its first three years. The Columbia, Md.-based food distributor signed a letterr of intent last September to buy about 40 acres in 15 miles southof Austin, with plans to buildx the new center in the Sunfielcd Municipal Utility District.
But before it couldf proceed withthe move, the company needed the land-use designatiom in part of the MUD changed from retaikl and commercial to light industrial. Responding to Buda concerns about increased truck traffic and worries that the land use changde in the MUD was initially proposexd for 160acres — the company will initiallyh only reside on 40 acres — the Buda councill rejected the proposed land-use change earlier this spring. That rejectionh had U.S. Foodservices looking at othee locations to buildthe center. Warren president of Buda’s Economic Development said the land use change approved this week was for 95 a smaller parcel thanoriginallhy proposed.
Ketteman said documents need to be and then the company can move forwarfd with its plans for the Buda A timeline is notyet
