UTSA’s Center for Urban and Regional Planning Research is excited to begin work in Freeport, Texas, a coastal city with 10,696 residents in Brazoria County. Originally founded in 1912 by the Freeport Sulphur Company, the city is now home to Dow Chemical Company's Texas Operations facility.

Ian Caine will lead the effort, working closely with Freeport's community members and San Antonio's Post Oak Preservation Solutions to develop a Comprehensive Downtown Plan that addresses preservation, economic development, land use, zoning, and infrastructure. The plan will include Historic District Guidelines, designed to connect Freeport's rich architectural heritage with an exciting vision for the future.
