City property purchase at 65311 San Jacinto Lane

A new 48,759-square-foot distribution warehouse for HVAC components is coming to an established light-industrial area, bringing 8-10 jobs to start and about ten inbound 18-wheelers per month. It's an infill project on vacant land, so no rezoning was needed.
