Abilene To Pursue Hailstorm Claims Through Intergovernmental Risk Pool

The Development Corporation of Abilene voted Wednesday to move forward with insurance claims related to property damage from the 2014 hailstorm. The board authorized DCOA CEO Kent Sharp to negotiate and execute any agreements or legal action necessary regarding the entity’s property damage insurance coverage with the Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool. Among the DCOA-owned buildings that were damaged were Blue Cross Blue Shield, various airport properties, some facilities at the business park and other industrial properties, Sharp said.
