There has been a lot of speculation regarding the activity on Eagle Drive at I-10. If you have found your way here via a google search or from the City website, you're not alone. A lot of interest has been generated by the land clearing, but for now, that's all it is - the property owner is just clearing land. At this point, there is no specific or even general plan regarding the development of this property. It is just land clearing.
To be clear, there is NO Kroger, HEB, CVS, Walgreen's, Bass Pro Shop, Cabela's, Academy, Starbucks, anything. There have been no plans submitted to the City for development of this parcel.
The owner of the parcel is looking to develop the property. He - and the City - have had conversations with many different folks, trying to generate interest in development in the City. We are still actively pursuing opportunities as they come available, and we are taking steps to help foster the business environment in the City (see previous posts about those steps). But, as I've noted in previous posts, there remain significant challenges to commercial development, and those challenges will take time to overcome.
In the mean time, please stay tuned! I love the interest that is being generated. If anyone has any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to call me (281) 576-2213 x 233, email (bcobabe@montbelvieu.net) or come by City Hall. I'm here almost all the time, and I'd love to help in any way I can.

Bill, Thanks for the update! Sorry to hear that there's no plan for a Kroger (I even heard about a Hooters!), but please keep us informed if you hear anything. Keep up the good work!
Bill, Thanks for the update! I'm sorry to hear that there's no Kroger in the works (I even heard about a Hooters), but I certainly appreciate the inside scoop. Is there anything that residents can do to encourage new business? Please keep us informed and keep up the good work!
Thank you for the information. Please keep it coming! If you have more information on the progress of road construction on Eagle drive, that would be great!
What I found interesting is that even though there are no plan for the plot of land, there are curb cuts for a potential parking lot entrance. Just a casual observation as I avoid the construction cones.
