  1. Opposition was not cost, opposition was because they wanted it to be voted on. These idiots want everything put to a vote.
  2. Construction on phase I, the lake and event center began this week. http://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/local/city_has_started_lake_project.html Other plans for the area include building a new $2 million downtown library, relocating the Best Year's Senior Center from Fourth Street and a children's museum in the Oil City and Brass building, which is owned by the city.
  3. No, you might be thinking of the Downtown project. Not the same. The downtown projects are waiting for the Port of Beaumont rail yard to be relocated. This will begin mid-summer.
  4. No Pook, The riverfront will be the last part to start because the tracks are in the way. The downtown lake is the first part and that will begin soon. The lake will be west of the downtown area. Once the lake is complete, a river through downtown will be dug. Finally the river walk.
  5. The city is selecting a firm to design the proposed lake park-event center and conduct the downtown waterway feasibility study. http://recenter.tamu.edu/mnews/newsSearch....S&CID=39507 The lake is the first phase of the Riverwalk project.
  6. Walter is not ther only Billionaire living in Beaumont. The family that owns/started the Landry corp still lives in Beaumont. This is why most people think they are behind this river project. I think it will be announced soon.
  7. Pook, I think you will be in for a surprise when you find out who is behind that river project. Metropark is already under construction. It is located where the old west end YMCA once stood. The city will be Ok-ing a $400 million medical center on Folsom soon. And a new high-rise in downtown Beaumont coming.
  8. If it is a pipedream, why is Beaumont taking contract bids for the first phase?
  9. Yes, one is next to Hotel Beaumont and the other is on College across from the library.
  10. 2 buildings were razed downtown in the last 2 weeks, I hear 4 more is on the list.
  11. Agreed, that building is very nice architecture. Maybe once all the other projects start someone will come along. Port Arthur lags Beaumont. Port Arthur is currently making the same mistakes Beaumont made in the late 80's. I think in a few years they will figure it out. My guess would be a hotel. They talked about bringing a hotel for years. Too bad the city imploded the LaSalle hotel. That would have been a beautiful restored high rise hotel.
  12. Channel DT Beaumont is changing for the better fast. The city is moving the railyard behind the civic center to develope the riverfront. They mentioned a hotel a while ago, but I don't know the status on that project. This canal and a big park with a lake was also planned. New Condo's near the Basilica. If they could pull this off, this would attract more investors.
  13. I don't remember. I had to do a lot of searching because the media didn't spend much time on this. http://www.kfdm.com/news/beaumont_21516___...hayes_city.html http://www.kbmt12.com/news/local/8843217.html
  14. Sorry, I have no details. The media did a sloppy job of covering this story.
  15. Just a rumor, I heard there is some type of link to this project and the people who built Kemah....
