Baytown, Texas

five years. More immediately, we are going to pursue a new Public Safety building for our Police and Fire Departments. We have the best Fire and Police Departments in the nation. And we put a lot of resources into public safety in Baytown; that is job one, every day. So, this is a $65 million building that will be located just east of the existing facility. Finally, we have concluded a feasibility study, using a lot of public input, into a new Baytown Recreation Center. And I hope, if it isn’t this year, then next year, it will be in design. All three of these are ambitions right now, but that’s how they al- ways start. These facilities are dividends to our citizens from the prosperity that our city has enjoyed.” “In addition, we have a huge, 100-acre park on the north side of town called Russell Park, and I’d like to begin the development of that,” Davis adds. “We’re probably going to be look- ing to the county as a partner in developing that park, because it really is a regional park. It will host athletic fields and probably an indoor athletic facility, pavilions, and even an eques- trian trail will be out there. If I’m able to see even Phase One of Russell Park, and get these other three buildings built in the remaining portion of my career here in Baytown, I’ll feel very satisfied.” PREFERRED VENDOR n Houston Methodist Baytown Hospital Houston Methodist Baytown has provided Hous- ton with quality medical care since 1948.
