El Paso County Commissioners Court held a special meeting Saturday in hopes of convincing Downtown property owners to support the proposed Downtown National Register Historic District, which many owners are opposing.
But only five people and only one owner, albeit a prominent one, spoke at the hourlong meeting, with most of the time spent on a county presentation outlining issues surrounding the proposed district.
El Paso billionaire Paul Foster, who owns about 25 properties in the proposed historic district, reiterated his stance against the district, which, he said in a telephone call to the meeting, isn’t needed. Foster said Saturday’s meeting was a waste of time and what s needed instead is a private meeting between property owners and city and county officials to discuss concerns about the proposed district.
