Seabrook Council reviews TxDOT's Green Ribbon landscape project during workshop
The November 7, 2024, Joint City Council and Open Space & Trails Committee Workshop in Seabrook, Texas, focused on the TxDOT landscape project funded through the Green Ribbon Grama Program. The meeting began with a presentation aimed at addressing questions raised during the previous month’s session regarding landscaping enhancements along the NASA area and the associated maintenance costs.

Mayor and Council were introduced to the workshop by a representative who outlined the agenda, which included a review of the landscaping project process, an overview of the Green Ribbon Program, and a detailed presentation by landscape architect Brandon from Clark Condon. The purpose was to provide clarity on the landscaping components along the State Highway 146 corridor and to discuss the maintenance implications.

The discussion highlighted the origins of the project, tracing back to 2016 when the city collaborated with the consultant SWA to develop a branding plan that incorporated Seabrook-specific elements into the landscaping design. This included the integration of local symbols such as sailboats and initiatives for reforestation.

Brandon presented detailed slides showcasing the landscaping components planned for the corridor, emphasizing the importance of community input and the need for ongoing collaboration with TxDOT. The meeting also addressed the council's inquiries regarding the potential expansion of landscaping areas and the financial aspects of maintaining these enhancements.

As the workshop concluded, council members were encouraged to ask questions and provide further direction on the project, ensuring that community needs and preferences are prioritized in the ongoing development of the landscaping initiative. The meeting underscored the city's commitment to enhancing its green spaces while maintaining fiscal responsibility.
