Public Hearing

The City of Houston’s Housing and Community Development Department (HCDD) is hosting a public hearing to engage the community and discuss the acquisition of land located at the corner of Highway 288 and MacGregor in City Council District D for the development of an HEB grocery store. This hearing is part of HUD’s eight-step environmental process for a potential development in a flood plain. This area is considered a food desert: an urban area in which it is difficult to buy affordable or good-quality fresh food. HEB proposes to develop a 72,000 square foot grocery store. The construction costs of $20 million will be funded by HEB and its investors.
