“This action reinforces the continued commitment and support of state leadership, TPW Commission and TPWD to saving the park while adding new park land for all Texans now and in the future,” the press release states. Officials with Todd Interests previously indicated there was no more room for discussion about the parkland, which was first leased to the state by the utility company in the early 1970s. TPWD leased the land for decades before it was put up for sale.
