Harris County Precinct 4 will soon be home to a second community center, which will serve residents of all ages and civic organizations, in the heart of the Cypress Creek Cultural District.
Precinct 4 officials plan to open a new 24,500-square-foot community center by 2021, according to an
April 22 news release. The new center will be located in the former
Cypress Creek Christian Church community center, which flooded during Hurricane Harvey in August 2017. Precinct 4 purchased the property located at 6823 Cypresswood Drive, Spring, in 2018.
“We chose the property for a variety of reasons,” Precinct 4 Commissioner Jack Cagle said in a statement. “The community center stands in a densely populated area near Precinct 4’s Collins and Meyer parks. The facility’s large size ensures we can accommodate Precinct 4’s growing population.”
Currently, the
Mangum-Howell Center, located at 2500 Frick Road, Houston, is the only dedicated community center serving Harris County’s Precinct 4's nearly 1.4 million residents. The new facility will feature meeting space for local and civic organizations.
Harris County Commissioners Court named the facility the George H.W. Bush Community Center, during the
April 9 commissioners court meeting. The center is located adjacent to the
Barbara Bush Branch Library.
Construction is slated to begin in November and is expected to take one year to complete, according to the news release.
