The city's plan would turn Panther Island into a mixed-use waterfront district, possibly including homes, businesses, and hotels.
Some in the community are concerned about the plan, fearing the planned increase in development will push out longtime businesses and residents in the areaThe Vision 2.0 plan would turn the stretch of largely underdeveloped land next to downtown into a mixed-use waterfront district, possibly including apartments, businesses, and hotels.
In 2023, the US Army Corps of Engineers provided a grant of more than $400 million to build a new bypass channel in the Panther Island area to reduce consistent flooding from the Trinity River. This effort is set to be completed by 2032. He worried that the Panther Island project would do the same to the businesses already located there and to families living in the historic neighborhoods near Panther Island, like the largely Hispanic Northside.
Project leaders said the next community meeting is set for 4 p.m. on March 28 at the Rose Marine Theater at 1440 North Main Street.
