Baytown gateway project aims for unique city entrances
Baytown moves ahead with a gateway initiative in partnership with Knudson, LP and the Economic Alliance Houston Port Region to create historic themed markers along major corridors. The plan features brick and stone materials, a nine point star atop each marker, and designs including an oil derrick and a bridge homage. Council favors a combined option, with costs to be finalized, and only annual power washing needed for maintenance. Mayor DonCarlos praised the designs as standout.
