Brazos County Commissioners Are Considering A $61 Million Dollar Redevelopment Of The Site Of The Former Bryan ISD Administration Building

Brazos County commissioners are told it will take $61 million dollars to redevelop the land across Texas Avenue from the courthouse, where the former Bryan ISD administration building will be imploded this summer. Commissioners expressed no opposition during Tuesday’s meeting (May 7) to recommendations made by the county’s project manager. Trevor Lansdown presented plans for a three story building that would be occupied by the precinct 4 justice of the peace and constable’s departments, adult probation, and the public defender’s office. The new building will also have its own parking garage. Lansdown says that is to keep employees from having to cross Texas to get to the Roy Kelly parking garage. There will also be a skywalk over Texas connecting the new building to the courthouse. Lansdown said that is because people working in the new building have regular business in the courthouse. County commissioner Steve Aldrich asked Lansdown to contact the owner of property east of the former BISD site to gauge their interest in selling their land to the county.
