New College Station High School Moving Forward

The City of College Station just passed the budget for the new College Station High School off of Barron Rd. The total budget for the new High School is just over $100 million.

The new High School should improve traffic on 2818 and Wellborn Rd, but is definitely going to increase traffic on Barron/40.  The new High School will help support the growth of South College Station, and will give the B/CS four high schools by 2012.

Proposed Millican Reservoir Up for Debate

The State is worried about water conservation during the next 50 years, but a lot of residence with land on/around the river are opposed.

With the population growth of Texas, water issues like this will continue to be hot topics from here on out.
