Pieces Coming Together For Major Sports Complex in Greenspoint Area

With the possibility of additional recreational opportunities at Glen Forrest Basin north of Greens Road and adjacent to I-45 North and a new skateboard park to be developed by the Greenspoint Redevelopment Authority, Statewide Transportation Enhancement Program funding will allow the development of a trail that extends the current trail at Wussow Park and connects future recreational opportunities. Recently, Texas Department of Transportation approved $2.9M for Greens Bayou Corridor Coalition (GBCC) and Greenspoint District to pursue that opportunity.  Additionally, stakeholders such as North Houston Alliance-Greenspoint Inercontinental Airport (NHAGIA) and Greenspoint Community Partners (GCP) recognize its importance and have contributed to the effort.  NHAGIA, recognizing the importance of a comprehensive sports complex, donated $25,000 to the effort.  Area hotels feel that the proximity of Greenspoint to the airport, with easy access from I-45, make Greenspoint the ideal location for hosting tournaments and events.  Commissioner El Franco Lee's office is providing the pedestrian bridge to the effort.  With growing inquiries from the private sector in how they can participate, GBCC is meeting with Clark Condon Associates to explore opportunities for sponsorship recognition along the trail system.  If you are interested in a sponsorship opportunity contact Regina Lindsey at 281-874-2137.
