Commissioners will hear a presentation on Brazos County’s past and future growth from Tom Johnson, president and CEO of the Greater Brazos Partnership.
Johnson has been presenting on the matter since August, pairing it with impacts of the incoming Terafab project in Grimes County. Most recently, he presented data to College Station City Council, suggesting the project could bring in $2 billion to College Station and substantially increase the city of Bryan’s population by 2037.
