Pacifico / BCG Cedar Creek Campus

planned

A rare case where a developer voluntarily withdrew both county Chapter 312 abatements and its state JETI application, choosing to pay full property taxes (~$20M/year). Two distinct developer identities appear on filings: Pacifico Energy / Pacifico Cedar Creek LLC on the incentive applications and Black Chamber Partners (BlackChamber Group affiliate) on the TCEQ stormwater permits for a 304-acre portion — treated here as one campus with a shared address, flagged for further ownership verification.
