Mont Belvieu is experiencing significant growth, marked by new developments and infrastructure enhancements that reflect the community’s evolving landscape.
Mixed-Use Development at Grand Parkway and I-10
Friendswood-based Virgata Property Co., in partnership with Houston-based Stewart Development, is planning a 45-acre mixed-use development along the southbound lanes of the Grand Parkway, just north of Interstate 10. The project includes industrial, retail, office spaces, and potentially a hotel. The city approved a zoning change for this development, with groundbreaking anticipated in late summer. This initiative aims to bolster the local economy and provide residents with additional amenities.
City Council Leadership and Meetings
The Mont Belvieu City Council, committed to serving the community with integrity, comprises Mayor Joey McWilliams and council members Mike Pomykal, Mark Ables, Arnold Peters, Tim Duree, Don Price, and Jabo Leonard. The council convenes at 6:00 p.m. on the second and fourth Mondays of each month at the Council Chamber and Municipal Court building.
