Goose Creek Lake Topic Of Meeting
A second committee meeting on creating a fresh water Goose Creek Lake is planned in about a month. Councilman Andy Braswell reported enthusiasm among members and noted some property owners support the plan while others may oppose. The dam could create a lake with over 160 acres of surface area, with public access via a dam, a five acre city tract behind San Jacinto Hospital, or a 1.5 acre Texas Highway Department tract at Park Street and Decker Drive. The highway tract may be used later for Spur 330 interchange work.
