Trail progress and funding turmoil for Baytown wetlands center
The 2.3 million trail project is supposed to be funded by a federal grant with a 20 percent city share. The city initially paid design and property costs, lowering its share to 308 thousand dollars. The MDD funds via a half cent sales tax, but the project faced funding shifts and five project managers since 1990.
