Thought it might make sense there should be a thread for the developments happening at the Port itself. https://thefacts.com/news/happy-berth-day-port-freeport-expands-mooring-space/article_868c1efb-ef8b-5717-915b-9963eabf18e4.html "Their new Berth 8, for mooring container ships, will help the port handle the ever-increasing amount of cargo coming into the state of Texas and the celebration turned into something of a state-of-the-port address Tuesday."

There are already a few large scale solar farms in the County. This one is the most recent to go online it seems. https://corporate.totalenergies.us/news/totalenergies-starts-texas-380-mw-utility-scale-solar-power-plant-battery-storage From the press release... "Located south of Houston, Texas, Myrtle has a capacity of 380 megawatts peak (MWp) of solar production and 225 MWh of co-located batteries. With 705,000 ground-mounted photovoltaic panels installed over an area equivalent to 1,800 American football fields, Myrtle produces enough green electricity to cover the equivalent consumption of 70,000 homes. 70% of Myrtle’s capacity will supply green electricity to the Company’s industrial plants in the U.S. Gulf Coast region. It is part of the Company’s “Go Green” Project, which will enable the Company to cover, by 2025, the power needs and curtail the Scope 1+2 emissions of its industrial sites in Port Arthur and La Porte in Texas, and Carville in Louisiana. The remaining 30% of Myrtle’s capacity will supply green electricity to Kilroy Realty, a publicly traded real estate company, under a 15-year corporate power purchase agreement (CPPA) indexed on merchant prices. In addition to the photovoltaic installations, the solar power plant also features battery energy storage equipment to meet the need for grid stabilization. With a total capacity of 225 MWh, this storage is made of 114 high-tech Energy Storage Systems (ESS) containers designed and assembled by TotalEnergies' affiliate Saft, which develops cutting-edge industrial batteries."

Phase 1 should begin in the fourth quarter of this year and include about 1,200 lots on the first 500 acres, Vembutty said. The community will include more than 200 acres of amenity space, including a nature preserve, detention ponds with an 8-mile trail system, a recreation center with a gym, a resort-style pool and a lap pool, and a playground. According to the developer agreement, the city of Angleton will annex Ashland, which is currently in its extraterritorial jurisdiction, into the city limits once it’s close to full build-out. The contract also gives Ashton Gray and the city two years to secure an agreement from Brazoria County and the Texas Department of Transportation to develop Highway 288 frontage roads. If no agreement is reached, Ashton Gray will be able to develop the tracts intended for commercial use as residential instead. If they succeed in getting a frontage road built, the plan is to develop a mixed-use retail district. “I would love to see something really, really nice like a town center or something of that architecture or that design,” Angleton Mayor Jason Perez said. “Because that is going to be the front door of the community.” With nearly 2,500 homes, Ashland could bring more than 7,000 new residents to the town, which hasn’t grown much in the past 20 years. Its population was 18,130 in 2000 and 19,437 in the 2020 U.S. Census."

Not to be confused with the nearby Manvel Town Center... City page for project: http://cityofmanvel.com/454/Manvel-Municipal-and-Athletic-Center-MAC Feasibility report from December 2022: http://cityofmanvel.com/DocumentCenter/View/2159/Manvel-Sports-Complex-Feasibility-Report-PDF?bidId= https://communityimpact.com/houston/pearland-friendswood/development/2023/04/17/city-on-the-rise-manvel-focuses-on-infrastructure-growth-as-population-soars/ "Finally, city officials highlighted a proposed future downtown area adjacent to Valencia that would feature a new city hall and main city service buildings and an expansive sports complex. The 160-acre area would feature a series of multiuse sports fields alongside retail space for hotels, an amphitheater and other community spaces, according to a Dec. 5 feasibility study for the project. The study, conducted by The Sports Facilities Advisory for architecture design client PGAL, shows an estimated investment of $63.9 million from the city for the complex, which has no stated timeline yet. Current council officials touted the project as an opportunity to create a sports tourism destination that will attract visitors from across the state, boosting the local economy and providing a walkable downtown space for current residents. Davison said the project, which had its design recently approved and may see ground work start in the summer, is facing some criticism from citizens and council candidates."

The community, to be called Sandy Point, is slated to have 2,100 single-family homes at build-out. Derek Graber with Dosch Marshall Real Estate represented Hines, and David Cook and Meredith Cullen with Cushman & Wakefield represented the seller. Flagstar Bank and Rocky Lai & Associates provided financing. Sandy Point will be located along the western side of State Highway 288 just south of Iowa Colony’s current city limits. The property will be annexed into the city in the next several months as part of a development agreement, Iowa Colony City Manager Robert Hemminger said. Hines plans to offer a variety of lot sizes ranging from 40 to more than 80 feet in width. While Brazoria County requires lot sizes in new subdivisions to be at least 80 feet wide, municipalities can set their own rules."
