What o cials are saying
Looking ahead
“We haven’t heard anything from anyone about the impact at this point,” Colin Killian, public com- munications director for the city of College Station, said in an email. City of Bryan o cials, in a statement to Com- munity Impact , said it also had no update on the impact. The city provided some sales tax projections but noted that more updated ones will come in July.
The impact the project could have on the area economically is di cult to parse, o cials said. Budget documents from the city of College Station noted that several economic pressures are currently at play, including energy costs and in ation. To that end, the city’s projections for its sales tax revenue through scal year 2028-29 show an anticipated year-over-year increase.
Construction began in December and is expected to continue through 2030, according to TxDOT documents. In the long term, the project will be carried out in three separate phases, some of which could overlap.
