The district’s agent for the sale and development is Pan American Engineers.

A cash sale and development agreement will be required for the parcel on the part of the selected developer.

The developer would design, construct, finance, operate and maintain the project.

Any proposals are due by June 22.

It is governed by a board consisting of seven members appointed by the City of Pineville, the Rapides Parish Police Jury, the Central Louisiana Economic Development Alliance, the Central Louisiana Chamber of Commerce, and the North Rapides Business and Industry Alliance. Mike Tudor is chairman.
