Stallworth site questioned for district bus center
Baytown residents led by Marlon Ratliff challenge GCCISD plans to use Stallworth Stadium for a transportation center arguing it fails bond promises. They cite 40 acres minimum, traffic and parking limits, fuel tanks, and water and safety risks versus a larger 48.55 acre site that could save about 4 million and allow expansion. Residents urge selecting a different location to honor voters and avoid future trust erosion.
