Thursday could be a big day for the Texas Rangers in local government.
The Surprise Planning and Zoning Commission will consider site-plan approval for a new Texas Rangers facility that essentially will serve as a year-round hotel for players and staff.
The project would cover 83,000 square feet just to the east of Bullard Avenue and across the street from the Surprise Recreation Campus. The area currently is a parking lot and an otherwise vacant field.
Rangers officials didn’t want to speak about the project until after the vote, but they aren’t expecting any issues in landing approval.
