Power Grid Upgrades Underway
in Baytown —
What Residents Should Know

CenterPoint Energy began work yesterday [Mon. March 23rd] on a series of power line and equipment upgrades across Baytown aimed at reducing outages and improving reliability—especially during severe weather.

The project is expected to take about 12 weeks and includes replacing older power poles with stronger ones, installing smart technology to help restore power faster, and placing some lines underground in select areas.

What to expect during the project:

Crews working Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Possible temporary outages to safely complete work (advance notice will be provided)
Traffic control measures and occasional lane closures in work zones

The upgrades are part of ongoing efforts to strengthen the local electric system and improve service reliability for Baytown residents.

Baytown Residents Invited to
Help Shape Events Center
& Library Renovation

Baytown residents are being invited to help shape the future of a major community project during an upcoming public forum focused on the ExxonMobil Baytown Events Center and the renovation of Sterling Municipal Library.

The Conceptual Design Public Forum is scheduled for Thursday, April 16 at 6:00 p.m. in the Tejas Room at the Baytown Community Center (2407 Market Street).

The project is still in its early design phase, and city officials say community input will play an important role in guiding both the new events center and the planned updates to the library.

Those who attend will be able to meet the design team, learn more about the timeline and planning process, and share feedback on early concepts. The goal is to gather ideas that help ensure the spaces reflect the needs and priorities of Baytown residents.

City leaders are encouraging community members to attend, noting that feedback collected now will help shape a project intended to serve the area for years to come.

Reminder:
Party on the Peninsula
is Saturday!

Don’t forget! Party on the Peninsula is Saturday! [March 28th at the Baytown Nature Center.]

The event was created to shine a spotlight on local artists who call Baytown home, and this year’s lineup features hometown performer Ty Laramore, known for bringing energy to every show. He’ll be joined by local favorites Zydeco Jay & Creole Pressure, along with DJ Boris for a night full of music and entertainment.

Best of all, the event is free to attend, with free admission and free parking for everyone. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, bring friends, and enjoy the evening by the water.

A variety of local food trucks will be on site, and drinks will be available for purchase from Dirty Daiquiri.

It’s shaping up to be a fun evening celebrating Baytown music and community.🪗
