League City has agreed sell a drainage easement valued at over $9.8 million to the Texas Department of Transportation for the planned $1.9 billion Grand Parkway segment that will extend through the city.

What happened

League City Council voted unanimously at its July 22 meeting to sell a parcel of land adjacent to the future segment B1 of the Grand Parkway, which will eventually bisect League City and connect Hwy. 146 and I-45.

Zooming out

League City’s population is projected to increase by nearly 40% from 2020-2030, and more growth could happen as a result of the Grand Parkway being extended through the city in 2027, Community Impact previously reported.
