Baytown Little Theater Quiet Zone Move to Ease Train Noise
Baytown seeks a federally approved quiet zone along Texas Avenue and North Main to replace train horns during performances at the former Wilkenfeld Furniture building. The project would add safety measures like crossing barriers and mounted horns while renovating the old store into a 200‑250 seat main theater and a 100‑125 seat black box. Construction may take 9–12 months with performances expected by late this year or early next, per BLT president Kim Martin.
