Baytown Industrial Market Grows
with New Warehouse Lease

An industrial property in Baytown, Texas, has been successfully leased, with Colliers facilitating the transaction on behalf of the landlord. The leased facility, located at 1203 Thompson Park Drive, Suite 100, comprises approximately 59,400 square feet of space designed to support distribution and logistics operations.

Built in 2019, the property features modern industrial amenities, including a 28-foot clear height, 17 dock-high doors, an oversized ramp door, ESFR fire suppression systems, and energy-efficient LED lighting. The site also includes a 1,800-square-foot speculative office suite, along with parking accommodations for around 40 cars and 25 trailers.

Strategically situated with direct access to Interstate 10 and State Highway 146, the facility offers logistical advantages for businesses serving the Greater Houston area and beyond.

Baytown's industrial sector has seen steady growth, fueled by its proximity to the Port of Houston and nearby petrochemical hubs. The completion of this lease reflects ongoing demand for well-positioned, modern warehouse space in the region.

Galveston Drowning Tragedy Reminds Baytown Beachgoers to Stay Vigilant

As summer approaches and Baytown residents begin planning beach getaways to nearby Galveston, a heartbreaking reminder of the ocean’s unpredictability emerged this week. A 25-year-old woman from Houston tragically drowned early Wednesday morning while swimming near the Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier.

Authorities were called to the area around Tower 24 at approximately 12:45 a.m. after a report of a missing swimmer. The woman had been in the water with two friends when a wave struck the group. While her companions made it safely to shore, they soon realized she was no longer with them. A bystander quickly called for help.

Emergency responders—including Galveston Island Beach Patrol, police, fire personnel, and EMS—arrived within minutes. The swimmer, later identified as Sadia Navaid, was found in the water at 12:49 a.m. CPR was initiated immediately. She was transported to the University of Texas Medical Branch’s emergency room, where she was pronounced dead at 1:32 a.m.

Officials noted that the incident occurred in a no-swimming zone on the eastern side of the Pleasure Pier. No foul play is suspected.

With Galveston just a short drive from Baytown, many locals are likely to head to the coast during the warm months ahead. This tragedy serves as a somber but important reminder: even a fun day at the beach can turn serious in an instant. Currents, waves, and underwater hazards can be unpredictable—especially in areas where swimming is prohibited.

As you enjoy your time by the water this summer, whether with friends or family, please stay alert, know the beach warning flags, and always respect posted signs. A few extra moments of caution can help keep a day at the beach from ending in tragedy.

A Sanctuary of Support:
Pregnancy Resource Center East

Tucked in the heart of our community, Pregnancy Resource Center East (PRCE) has spent more than three decades quietly transforming lives—one young woman, one family, one child at a time. Founded on compassion and care, PRCE offers a haven for young women who are newly pregnant or think they may be, meeting them not with judgment, but with understanding.

The center provides free pregnancy testing and ultrasound services, giving women the knowledge they need to make informed decisions. But PRCE’s mission doesn’t end there. Through a robust curriculum of parenting, prenatal, and newborn/infant classes, clients receive guidance every step of the way—from the first positive test through their baby’s first birthday.

PRCE also nurtures the practical side of parenting with its Baby Boutique, a welcoming space stocked with essentials to help new parents provide for their growing families. And recognizing that strong families include strong fathers, PRCE offers “The Intentional Man,” a class tailored for men involved in the pregnancy, promoting responsible and engaged fatherhood.

Everything PRCE offers is completely free to clients, a testament to the community’s generosity and the tireless dedication of its volunteers. As Gail Duhon, Executive Director remembers, “I was drawn to PRCE back in the early '90s, impressed by their non-judgmental approach and their commitment to helping women make well-informed decisions.”

Community involvement remains central to PRCE’s identity. In recent months, they’ve participated in local events like the Baytown Sun's Women's Expo, the Mont Belvieu Methodist Fair, and the Lee College Health Fair. Their calendar is also filled with meaningful fundraisers that sustain their mission—like the annual golf tournament, "Tee Up Fore Life," set for Saturday, September 13 at Stonebridge at Newport, and the Annual Fundraising Banquet & Silent Auction on October 18 at the Hyatt Regency in Baytown.

In their larger, expanded location, PRCE continues to grow its programs and outreach. Through it all, their core mission remains unchanged: to lend a listening ear, offer unwavering support, and walk alongside women and families as they navigate one of life’s most challenging—and beautiful—journeys.

Pregnancy Resource Center East is now located at  610 S. Main St., Highlands, TX 77562

One Cent for a Burger?
Wendy’s App Deal Returns
for a Limited Time

Baytown burger lovers, take note—Wendy’s is bringing back one of its most popular promotions, and it’s a tasty deal for your wallet. Starting May 28 and running through June 1, the fast-food chain is offering its classic Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger for just one cent. The catch? You’ll need to purchase at least one other menu item to unlock the deal.

The offer is available exclusively through the Wendy’s app, and it’s a return of a promotion that saw big buzz when it launched last year. With its signature crispy bacon, fresh beef patty, cheese, lettuce, and tomato stacked on a toasted bun, the Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger has long been a fan favorite—and now it’s practically free.

So, whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or swinging through the drive-thru after a day out with the family, it’s a good time to check the Wendy’s app before you order. Baytown residents can enjoy this limited-time deal at participating locations, but be sure to act fast—it ends June 1.
