Expanded Spring Creek Greenway Nature Center to reopen by summer COMPILED BY HANNAH ZEDAKER Nearly two years after Hurricane Harvey, the Spring Creek Greenway Nature Center is slated to reopen this summer, Montgomery County Precinct 3 officials said. In August 2017, heavy rainfall from Hurricane Harvey caused Spring Creek—the southern boundary of Montgomery County—to rise out of its banks, cresting at 111.45 feet—a record level set in 1994, according to the Harris County Flood Control District. The flooding resulted in widespread destruction, including the Spring Creek Greenway Nature Center. “Approximately 4 feet of water flooded the Spring Creek Greenway Nature Center during rainstorms from Hurricane Harvey in August 2017, causing major damage and forcing its closure,” Precinct 3 spokesperson Andy DuBois said. Located adjacent to the Peckin- paugh and Spring Trails preserves, the 11,000-square-foot Spring Creek Greenway Nature Center features a community center, the Sheriff Department’s Patrol District II office, a pavilion and nature trails. The flooding from Hurricane Har- vey has left the building closed to the community for nearly two years. REBUILDING EFFORTS The Spring Creek Greenway Nature Center was not the only county build- ing affected by Hurricane Harvey. The Robinson Road Community Center in Oak Ridge North has also been closed
