Officials with Harris County Precinct 3 Commissioner Tom Ramsey's Office will host a grand opening celebration Jan. 13 for a new community center in Atascocita.

What to expect

As previously reported by Community Impact, the $2.5 million, 8,500-square-foot facility is being renovated from an existing building in Atascocita Park, and will feature:
  • Classrooms and large community rooms
  • A kitchen and a coffee bar
  • A possible generator so the center can be used as a cooling/warming center during extreme weather conditions
The center will be connected to Atascocita Park's trail network, and may also be used as a supply distribution center in emergencies.

What's in a name

Precinct 3 officials announced in October the community center would be named after Judge Ted Poe, who represented U.S. Congressional District 2 from 2005-19. Prior to that, Poe served as Harris County district judge from 1981-2003 and as a prosecutor in the Harris County District Attorney's office.
