Drury University architectural students, left, receive feedback during a recent community meeting to begin the process to develop a vision for Houston for the next 25 years.

The last public meeting for a community project to develop a long-range plan for Houston is Monday.

The meeting is 6:30 p.m. at the Houston Storm Shelter at First and Pine streets.

“We are ready, we have some new and amazing things to show! I hope we have a big turn out this evening – because there will be some things that I think really tie everything together, and will place you, literally, in the middle of the new developments,” said David Beach, project supervisor.

The project involves the City of Houston, MU Extension and Drury Center for Community Studies working with the community in developing dialogue and creating a ‘visioning toolkit’ for the possibilities of Houston 2040.

Drury students started the fall semester with a weekend long immersion in Houston, allowing them to attend a Friday night football game, explore the city, meet community members and experience a kayak float of the Upper Current River.

Since that time, the current work has focused on understanding the ‘places’ in Houston and the specific assets and challenges of the city. Several meetings have been held.

The public is invited.
