Center Partners with the City of Freeport, Texas to Develop New Downtown Plan
2024
We are thrilled to announce that the Center for Urban and Regional Planning Research is partnering with the City of Freeport to develop a Comprehensive Downtown Plan. Freeport, Texas, a coastal city in Brazoria County with 10,696 residents, was established in 1912 by the Freeport Sulphur Company and is now home to the Dow Chemical Company's Texas Operations facility. This comprehensive plan will tackle crucial aspects such as economic development, land use, zoning, infrastructure, and environmental sustainability. A pivotal facet of this project is the formulation of Historic District Guidelines, which will seamlessly project the city's architectural legacy into a forward-looking vision. This planning process will actively engage the community, serving as a compass for decision-making and igniting community action.
Stay tuned for updates as Freeport embarks on this transformative journey, ushering in a promising future that honors its past!
