Baytown is proud to announce a collaboration with Lee College to explore the creation of a transformative multipurpose public facility for our community. This reflects our shared commitment to improving the quality of life for future generations of Baytownians through education while enhancing opportunities for innovation, culture, and meaningful connections.
This is the beginning of imagining the possibilities of a space that not only serves as a vibrant hub for residents and students but also as a catalyst for ingenuity and progress.
Baytown Mayor Charles Johnson said, "A collaboration of this scale is essential for a project of this magnitude. By joining together in this latest effort, we will be creating a space that ignites a deeper community connection and will have a lasting impact for current and future generations."
"This collaboration of exploration is a testament to our joint dedication to building stronger communities, expanding opportunities for economic development, and improving the lives of our residents and students. By combining our resources and expertise in a feasibility and planning process, Lee College and the City of Baytown are working together to create lasting community benefits," said Daryl Fontenot, Lee College Board Chair.
The City is leading planning efforts and engaging input from the Baytown community to ensure the project reflects our collective values and aspirations. Under this inter-local agreement, Lee College is committed to working closely with the City, and both the college and the city are dedicated to bringing this exciting vision to life that will contribute to Baytown's economic growth and job opportunities.
This partnership exemplifies what makes Baytown special: collaboration and a shared dedication to progress. Together, we are building a brighter future for Baytown.
