The College Station city council accepts the concept plan for $5.94 million dollars of improvements at Thomas Park. Click HERE to read and download presentation materials from the November 14, 2024 College Station city council meeting. $3 million in funding comes from the bond issue approved by voters in November 2022. Another $2 million was previously budgeted in a separate fund. Construction would not start for at least one and a half years. Capital projects director Jennifer Cain says park improvements will be coordinated with rebuilding streets and replacing drainage on Puryear Drive and James Parkway, which borders the park. And none of that is scheduled to start until Lincoln Avenue is rebuilt. Three features of the renovated park are a play village, a discovery play area, and a habitat/educational area. Other amenities includes running trail markers, low intensity exercise stations, and shaded seating. Hear some of the comments from the November 14, 2024 College Station city council meeting:
The Bryan city council approves property tax breaks for a $120 million dollar expansion by a local manufacturer. The city’s economic development specialist, Todd McDaniel, says Honeywell electronics chemicals on Mumford Road will be making new products for the semiconductor industry. McDaniel says that fits the city’s targeted strategy for that sector. McDaniel says the five year tax abatement will generate an additional $900,000 dollars in payroll with the creation of 10 to 12 jobs. City background information says Honeywell, which has been in Bryan for more than 20 years, will generate an estimated $748,000 dollars in property tax revenue following the five year abatement period.
