Driving south of I-45, visitors encounter development around Baybrook Mall, new hotels and increased retail along NASA Parkway, and early infrastructure work tied to the Flyway district, an 80-acre hub planned to combine entertainment, dining and hospitality uses.
The big picture
While the city is just under 7 square miles in size and has a population of 12,500, Webster sits along a “prime position” of the I-45 Gulf Freeway corridor, which encounters about 250,000 vehicles that travel daily, according to city documents.
With the city of Webster being about 80% commercial, strides have been made to support regional destination development, Webster Marketing and Tourism Specialist Katie Vela said.
