PUBLIC
HEARING NOTICE
The City of Houston's Housing and Community
Development Department (HCDD) is hosting a public hearing on September 7, 2016
to engage the community and discuss the acquisition of land located at the
corner of Highway 288 and MacGregor in City Council District D for the
development of an HEB grocery store. This hearing is part of HUD's eight-step
environmental process for a potential development in a flood plain. This area
is considered a food desert: an urban area, in which it is difficult to buy
affordable or good-quality fresh food.
HEB proposes to develop a 72,000-square-foot grocery
store. The construction costs of $20 million will be funded by HEB and its
investors.
