The obligation

What the contract requires.

“complete no less than Thirty Two Million Dollars ($32,000,000.00) in real property improvements...by May 31, 2017”Executed agreement, p. 2
“SHERWIN-WILLIAMS employs two hundred sixty four (264) full time employees”Executed agreement, p. 2
“complete no less than Thirty Two Million Dollars ($32,000,000.00) in real property improvements”Executed agreement, p. 2
The repayment remedy

What happens if it is not met.

“WMCEDC may require Sherwin-Williams to repay all or a portion of the incentive funds”Executed agreement, p. 5

The remedy here is discretionary — the clause says it may be applied, not that it must be.

Where a deadline above has passed, no public record exists of whether it was met — not in the Comptroller’s filings, nor in the local government’s own disclosures. That is not evidence of non-compliance. Texas requires nobody to record it.

Every field, as the contract states it

The record.
