David White is hosting a Town Hall on Tuesday February 24, at Pebble Creek Country Club, at 7:00 PM. David has even invited City Manager Bryan Woods to attend to discuss Pebble Creek Parkway, Macy's, MidTown and Northgate. It could get rowdy, but Bryan is allegedly taking questions. Details are in the attached flyer, but if you vote in College Station, please come.

Is it March 24th or February 24th? The flier says March. If March, we can't make it unfortunately. We have already notified Northgate District Association leadership to ensure we have representation.

Thanks for posting.

MidTown is regarding the baseball fields, right, not the neighborhood?

Took a bit to get the corrected flyer. February is correct. Thanks for pointing out the error.

It's an open forum, so I don't know what Councilman White is planning to say about MidTown but you can ask anything you''d like. Having our City Manager there will be an eye opening experience for him. The city seems to have a hard time that people don't like the city destroying their homes (Data Center is an example), or wasting taxpayer dollars (Macy's, Texas Independence Ballpark, PUC lawsuit, ETJ lawsuit, etc.)

Midtown is more a state of mind.

I don't live in MidTown, but residents are upset that they are in a special (additional) tax area-an MMD-and have nothing to show for this additional property tax. The city allegedly made promises to that community that have gone unfulfilled. The city blames the developer. Midtown will never attract commercial development without better, direct and clearly designated access to Hwy 6 frontage road.
Of course Midtown, along with other nearby neighborhoods were quite upset with the city's plan to sell land for a Data Center, which would seriously lower property values and the general quality of life in the area. Totally tone deaf city leadership.

I may make the trip to ask the CM why the city does not force their hired contractors to repair private property damaged during the course of road construction, etc. It seems a pretty simple concept.

I have been told the culture of COCS City Hall is broken. It appears that is accurate.
There may not be time to do the job right, but there is always time to do the job over!!

This sign has been up since 2019 advertising the neighborhood. I think the developer overpromised [ahem, lied] to justify the extra tax. And now instead of 675 houses, there's now going to be closer to 900 or more. The really expensive Kaleo homes ($500k plus) aren't selling.

Is the developer who overpromised the same one that built a multi-million dollar compound in the middle of Midtown? Shady for sure.

I just now realized who you are referring to. Not the same one.

We call him the "King of Midtown". I THINK he is the residential developer.
