A petition alleging the Irving-Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce and the resort company Las Vegas Sands are colluding in a "backroom deal" to sell the former Texas Stadium site was filed this week in Dallas County It was filed on behalf of Irving resident Ada Pimentel a month after the Irving City Council approved a rezoning for high-intensity mixed use development adjacent to the Texas Stadium site The city of Irving currently owns the land where Texas Stadium once stood and that site is part of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) 6 The petition is not a lawsuit yet — it was filed to request pre-suit discovery that would include oral and videotaped depositions from a representative with the Greater Irving-Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce The chamber represents Irving in recruiting economic development opportunities Pimentel's attorney Cliff Riley said the petition was filed because official documents allegedly reveal the chamber engaged an attorney to represent it and Las Vegas Sands "Which is very troubling because the Irving Chamber of Commerce is tasked with representing the interests of the city of Irving in negotiating economic development deals," Riley The documents mentioned in the petition include a letter from the chamber addressed to Attorney General Ken Paxton in response to an open records request Irving Planning and Zoning commissioner Daniel Denny was told to submit the request when he wanted more information about the proposed destination resort on a separate tract owned by Las Vegas Sands "Which I thought that was actually kind of odd," Denny told KERA "I mean the whole point of having to contact the city staff they'll either provide the information or tell you why maybe it's not available or hey ask later The letter is response to the request was submitted on behalf of the Greater Irving-Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce and Village Walk RE 2 LLC, an entity registered under the same address as Las Vegas Sands KERA also received a nearly identical letter in response to a records request The letter to Paxton said certain records should be protected from disclosure citing damage to a governmental body's negotiating position for property acquisition "The Irving-Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce has been in discussions with [Village Walk RE 2] pursuant to a contractual agreement that contains certain confidentiality obligations and concerns VWR2’s interest in the possible acquisition of certain land and the operation of certain businesses within the City of Irving," according to the letter Irving-Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce President and CEO said in a statement that the petition was "baseless and factually erroneous." "One of the primary strategic initiatives identified in the City’s Plan is attracting a global destination to the PUD 6 area to make a major transformational impact in terms of investment jobs and the City’s tax base," Bowman said in her statement "There is nothing unusual or surprising about this important priority."

to choose providers or treatments They’re worried about whether the care that they’re receiving is sufficient and that tends to balloon into a level of anxiety for them and potential health consequences too,” said David Pitts of the Urban Institute A third of participants also reported bias and pressure in various reproductive health services pregnancy testing and newborn placement decisions Pitts added that better communication about available services is essential is for the facility to try its best to communicate better what the options are and to communicate with the women sort of precisely what it is that they offer,” he said The study’s recommendations included reducing wait times by streamlining coordination with community health providers training staff on reproductive health discussions allowing women to choose their provider’s gender In response, the Sheriff’s Office stated that the findings “are not complete or reflective of our standards and

Council has voted to pursue rezoning a 122-acre property at 3658 Las Colina Road in Livermore, Alameda County The plans could bring several hundred units to a portion of the hilly land preserving nearly three-quarters of the site Adventus Corporation is responsible for the residential application Adventus submitted a development agreement application in early December last year The team is requesting a land use designation change shifting the allowable uses from “Limited Agricultural with a floating community Facilities-High School designation’ to allow medium-density housing a private high school campus had been pursued for the 35 acres of buildable land The city will look to rezone the project for medium density Given that the developer is looking to build on approximately 35

He owned the Asian-inspired Eazy Monkey and previously worked for concepts such as chef Tim Love’s Love Management and Reata the upscale Texan restaurant in Fort Worth There's a full bar with music-inspired drinks such as the Jackson Highway with bourbon and peach ginger tea The atmosphere features vinyl albums and old concert pictures lining brick walls Shoals had been in the works for a year and was funded by the City of Irving It’s part of an effort to revitalize Toyota Music Factory with two other Hospitality Alliance concepts: Jaxon and Pistil Cocktail Lounge “We’re one of the anchor tenants that’s activating the plaza,” Marshall says “Mama Tried wasn’t really utilizing the kitchen when they were there since they were more of a dive bar so we opened up the walls to the kitchen.” An institution in Dallas' Knox Street neighborhood has been uprooted: Chuy's the Tex-Mex restaurant that had been open at 4544 McKinney Ave The relocation is due to the fact that the old space at the corner of Knox and McKinney will be razed — part of a mixed-use development on Knox Street that's expected to open in 2026 and include a hotel Rumors about the likely closure of that Chuy's location had circulated for nearly a year A spokesperson said "It’s been an honor to be part of the Dallas community for more than 30 years and serve guests at our restaurant in the Knox-Henderson district bigger restaurant just two miles away and to keep offering our guests everything they love about Chuy’s." Founded in Austin by Mike Young and John Zapp in 1982 Chuy’s became known for its Tex-Mex cuisine and eclectic decor Signature dishes include Big As Yo Face Burritos The McKinney Avenue location was also known for its Hatch chile program that included not only featuring Hatch chiles in various seasonal specials but also positioning a chile roaster outside the restaurant right on McKinney Avenue — very much Old Knox as opposed to the glossy high-rise direction in which Knox is currently headed In July 2024, Chuy's was acquired by Darden Restaurants the hospitality company that owns other big-name chains such as Olive Garden and The Capital Grille outfitting the new location wiith its iconic eclectic theming ceilings filled with hand-carved wooden fish and the Elvis fountain – which has just been refurbished The new location is operated by the same team and they've also expanded total staff to accommodate the space "We relocated to Greenville Avenue because it was a great area with long-term growth potential and wasn’t too far from where we served our guests for more than 30 years," their spokesperson says By Brian Womack The grocer on Wednesday announced the acquisition of property in Irving with plans to open its first H-E-B store in the Las Colinas area it will be at Interstate 635 and Olympus Boulevard in front of the former Fry’s electronics store It would be the first store for the H-E-B brand in Dallas County although H-E-B has Central Market and Joe V stores in Dallas It also has more than a dozen pieces of property throughout the region for further development D-FW Retail NewsThe latest on retail openings GoogleFacebookBy signing up you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy The San Antonio-based company said construction is to begin later this year It’s been roughly two years since H-E-B began its push in the Dallas-Fort Worth region with a store in Frisco.
