Summary: 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 are depicted on the attached Map 2.4. Additional description of these areas will be provided at the meeting.
