The Commission was presented a summary of the report's findings in early 2009, which identified three potential historic districts and two historic landmarks in the Eastgate area. College Station is nearing completion of a neighborhood plan for Eastgate. The Plan includes information from the Windshield Survey related to potential historic districts and landmarks in the area - the College Hills Estates, College Hills Woodlands and College Vista subdivisions were identified as potential historic districts, and the commercial building at 903 Texas Avenue South and the single-family dwelling at 904 Francis Drive were identified as potential historic landmarks. The location of these potential districts and landmarks were depicted on the map presented to the Commission.
