HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — The Houston Texans could soon be moving to northwest Harris County, not for games, but for everything else, including training camp, and taxpayers will be footing some of the bill.
On Thursday, Harris County commissioners approved a memorandum of understanding with the Houston Texans and the developer for a new facility that will be built.
The name of it will be called the “Toro District.”
There are no details tied to the agenda item. Neither the Texans nor the commissioners have said how much the project will cost, nor who will pay for it.
Commissioners stated that some of the projects will be funded with money from the special tax district in the area, which collects property tax revenue from that area to be used for future projects.
The Texans said this will be an 83-acre project that includes a 22-acre headquarters and training facility for the team. The Texans claim the district will generate $34 billion in long-term economic impact and create 17,000 jobs across the region.

Commissioner Leslie Briones said it is a public-private partnership with the county, the Texans, and Howard Hughes. However, the financial details regarding this project aren’t known.
The Texans plan to launch a new website about the project soon.
