Council approves Brownwood park plan in Baytown
Baytown City Council approved a Brownwood Hazard Area park plan with lakes boats and picnics and voted to seek state park status. A $255500 Texas Parks and Wildlife grant was approved for property acquisition and development with matching funds and an extra 100000 for further work. Local resident Kitty Allen opposed citing tax burden and safety concerns while council members argued the project would transform the area into an asset and attract visitors. City officials said nearby property owners could have debris cleared by city crews at no cost to them.
