As a reminder, the community forum on the proposed ExxonMobil Baytown Events Center and Sterling Library plans is happening tonight.

The meeting will be held today, at 6:00 p.m. at the Baytown Community Center, Tejas Room, 2407 Market Street. This is the first opportunity for residents to learn about the projects, hear about the timeline, meet the design team, and share input before any design concepts are created.

In addition to tonight’s meeting, the City is also inviting residents to share their input through a community survey.

The survey focuses on the future ExxonMobil Baytown Events Center and Sterling Municipal Library, with the goal of creating a shared destination in Goose Creek Park that supports youth sports, expands educational opportunities, and enhances the overall experience for residents.

Your feedback will help shape the vision for these projects and how they serve the community for years to come.
