Texans President Mike Tomon said that a decision on where the Texans decide to build a new team headquarters “could come fairly soon as talks with interested parties have sped up in recent weeks,” according to Jonathan Alexander of the HOUSTON CHRONICLE. Talks “have elevated so quickly and faster than expected” that Tomon has “reorganized some of his staff recently to focus specifically on the project full-time.” Tomon said their goal is to build a training facility that is “world-class.” He added that will “likely include an entertainment district with retail stores, similar to what the Dallas Cowboys have built with the ‘Star in Frisco.’” The headquarters would be paid for by the Texans, “but could include tax breaks and other incentives from that county.” Harris County is one entity “vying to keep the Texans,” as the county has “several acres at NRG Park where the Texans could build a facility and revitalize that area.” When asked whether another county or entity was in the running, Tomon “declined to say,” but added “there have been many,” in the greater Houston area (HOUSTON CHRONICLE, 6/16).
