TEMPLE TERRACE — Three years after breaking ground on the city’s decade-long vision for a new downtown, city leaders are trying to severe ties with the only developer so far to promise to give residents a much-sought-after town center.
The city’s aim to dissolve its relationship with development group, Vlass Temple Terrace LLC, is facing hurdles, City Manager Gerald Seeber told the Temple Terrace City Council this week.
Both sides have had good discussions at two meetings since June, where they negotiated in private, he said. They also have been working hard to dissolve the relationship without a lawsuit, but remain at odds on how best to accomplish it.
“Right now both parties are pretty far apart on those expectations,” Seeber said.
