Travis County Commissioners Court Judge Sam Biscoe is pushing a plan to sell half the county’s newly acquired downtown block -— the former museum site at Third and Guadalupe streets — to a private developer.

If anyone has a subscription, I'm interested in knowing the details of the rest of the article.

Three obvious outcomes of this decision:

1. Tower will be much taller due to smaller land area.
2. Tower will be even taller because of the public-private partnership that is being sought.
3. Sold parcel will probably eventually house another tower - one which might very well end up being among the tallest in downtown Austin.
