TIRZ 13 – Old Sixth Ward Redevelopment Authority Draft Governance Guidelines

Dow Elementary Park is nearing completion. We have high hopes that it can open this weekend, although there will be several small items still left to be completed. The City of Houston Park’s Department has the final say on the opening of the park. If the park closed signs have been removed and the gates are not locked you are free to use the park. We expect to have an “official” ribbon cutting in January.

The Old Sixth Ward Redevelopment Authority/TIRZ 13 Board will meet December 18, 2019 at 5:30 PM.

The meeting will be held at Winter Street Studios Gallery , 2101 Winter Street – 2nd Floor.

24Eleven is is being painted and they will need to close the park on December 11th to complete that side of the building.  Note:  This schedule could change due to weather.

In addition, New grass will be planted in the “on leash” area on December 12th.That area is in dire need for new grass,  many spots with no grass. The areas where the new grass is being planted will be staked to help the grass grow in fast and healthy. The stakes will be  removed once the grass is established. Note:  This schedule could change due to weather.
