Proposed desalination plant could take step forward at city council meeting – Texas

A proposed desalination plant could take another step towards becoming a reality Tuesday despite cost and environmental concerns from some Corpus Christi citizens.

The city council will consider authorizing City Manager Peter Zanoni to negotiate contracts to buy plots of land on which a plant or multiple plants would be built.

The actual purchase wouldn’t be final until a separate city council vote at a future meeting, but a city leader close to the efforts says Tuesday’s vote will be significant.
