How we got here
On Feb. 6, Harris County Commissioners Court approved a $1.95 million building purchase for the community center, according to Feb. 6 Commissioners Court meeting documents. Interior renovations—slated to cost $550,000—will begin after the purchase is finalized.
A new community center in the Atasocita area was requested by community members during the development of Harris County Precinct 3’s parks and trails master plan, Precinct 3 Commissioner Tom Ramsey said via a Feb. 21 news release. The master plan was released in August 2023 and called for $758 million in improvements to be made to local parks over the next two decades, as previously reported by Community Impact.
