Chris Presley, a 37 year Baytown resident and real estate professional, urges residents to back Proposition 5, a $2.525 million bond for Streetscape improvements in the historic downtown, funded with a $700,000 federal grant. He cites revitalization, crime reduction, and quality of life gains, noting the plan aligns with the Downtown Master Plan and local institutions like Lee College and Sterling Library.

Proposition 5 aims to revitalize Texas Avenue streetscape
The measure funds phase one of a downtown revitalization plan along Texas Avenue from Whiting Street to Commerce Street, led by Midtown Engineers with nearly 700000 dollars in federal grant money. It envisions four more blocks in phase two, adding to one currently grant funded, to boost the downtown area. Local business owners and the Goose Creek Historical Association president Presley cite infrastructure and civic pride benefits, while the Baytown West Chambers County Economic Development Foundation backs the bond as a long term economic boost.
