The Bryan city council approves property tax breaks for a $120 million dollar expansion by a local manufacturer. The city’s economic development specialist, Todd McDaniel, says Honeywell electronics chemicals on Mumford Road will be making new products for the semiconductor industry. McDaniel says that fits the city’s targeted strategy for that sector. McDaniel says the five year tax abatement will generate an additional $900,000 dollars in payroll with the creation of 10 to 12 jobs. City background information says Honeywell, which has been in Bryan for more than 20 years, will generate an estimated $748,000 dollars in property tax revenue following the five year abatement period.

The governor continues his order to state funded universities to freeze tuition for undergraduate students. That’s according to a letter Greg Abbott addressed to the chairs of board of regents and the chancellors of all university systems. Click HERE to read and download the letter the governor sent to the chairs of board of regents and chancellors of all university systems. The letter did not specifically call for freezing undergraduate fees for the 2025-26 and 26-27 academic years. That’s something which Abbott did in the 2023-24 and 24-25 academic years. But a spokesman with the Texas A and M system tells WTAW News there will be a freeze on undergraduate fees the next two years. There will continue to be no freeze on graduate tuition and fees. That’s something the A&M system regents dealt with two weeks ago when an increase in three existing graduate programs on the flagship campus was approved on a seven to two vote. And the governor did not extend the new tuition and fee freeze to state funded community colleges.
