TOWN HALL THURSDAY FOR BRENHAM FAMILY PARK SMALL AREA PLAN

  

Brenham residents are invited tonight (Thursday) to learn more about the Brenham Family Park small area plan.

A town hall will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the ballroom of The Barnhill Center. 

The come-and-go event will feature a short presentation at 6 p.m. and visual boards to show options that have been created for the over 600 acres of mostly vacant land around the new Brenham Family Park.  It will also have results from a recent online survey about the small area plan on display. 

The city entered into a professional services agreement with Kendig Keast Collaborative in March to produce the plan.  The study area is generally bounded by the Brenham Business Center to the east, Highway 290 to the north, the State Supported Living Center to the south and Highway 36 to the west.

While the Brenham Family Park covers approximately 110 acres of the site, the small area plan does not include any potential commercial or residential development within the park itself, as it will be a passive family park.  The city hopes to use the plan to provide a consensus as to how the non-park acreage could be used when potential developers begin looking into land within the plan area.
