At a June 26 meeting, City Council members approved a $61,000 grant application for the Katy Convention & Tourism Bureau to fund the basic architecture and engineering design of 1,200-1,500 square feet of space at the Visitors Center. The CTB approved the action June 21.
According to the application, the design will encompass a storyline that showcases both Katy’s history and future. VLK Architects will execute this work in six phases:
- Programming
- Schematic design
- Design development
- Construction documents
- Bidding and permitting
- Construction administration
The exhibit will be composed of both physical and digital elements, such as display cases, media experiences and other graphic components, according to project documents.
