Urbannizer Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 The fight for green land in Galveston April 2nd, 2010 at 12:00 AM By Sarah Rufca Hurricane Ike and an economy in free fall put something of a wrench in Marquette Land Investments' ambitious plans for the 1,000-plus-acre development called "The Preserve at West Beach." The planned community is still in the works, with a 15-story resort hotel, more than 4,000 condos and residential homes, a golf course, and a marina in the designs.But now a coalition of conservation-minded locals are trying to buy back some of the undeveloped bay-front land and coastal plain from the developers. The site, according to environmentalists, is one of the most ecologically diverse spaces on the island. http://culturemap.com/newsdetail/04-01-10-the-fight-for-green-land-in-galveston/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMME Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 With the rest of the gulf coast about to be ravaged by this oil spill, this may be one positive that lands in Galveston's comeback lap. Possibly a good time to invest in Galveston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNiche Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 With the rest of the gulf coast about to be ravaged by this oil spill, this may be one positive that lands in Galveston's comeback lap. Possibly a good time to invest in Galveston.I was thinking about that too. It's amazing to think that Texas now has the nicest beaches on the Gulf Coast. ...but all bets are off if a hurricane strikes the Gulf during this ongoing incident.

editor Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 The Daily News has the scoop:The state’s School Land Board said Wednesday it had finalized a limited partnership agreement with private firm Marquette Cos. to develop a 1,053-acre tract of pastureland on the island’s West End, formally reviving a project that could include thousands of houses and condominiums, an 18-hole golf course and a 15-story hotel.Linky: http://galvestondailynews.com/story/345798 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I don't want to see it. Anyone who puts that much development on the West end of Galveston Island is a fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
