The Cottonwood Shores City Council on May 6 agreed to transfer water taps paid for 15 years ago to land investors trying to lure developers with the amenity.
“The folks who own the property aren’t developers; they’re investors in the land,” Mayor Don Orr said. “They’re going to solicit developers and sell those properties to them. (The water taps) are a bargaining chip.”
