OVERVIEW OF THE BAYWAY CORRIDOR PLAN

BAYWAY PLAN STAKEHOLDER COMMITTEE KICKOFF MEETING

BAYWAY CORRIDOR PLAN

• The Bayway Drive was once a thriving corridor boasting new homes and modern retail

centers, but as Baytown grew new developments were constructed to the East. Soon, existing businesses relocated to new commercial districts or closed which left vacant structures and properties along the corridor. T

• day Bayway Drive is unique as it connects a

variety of land uses, neighborhoods, industrial plants, community facilities, and vacant and underutilized properties.

• The Bayway Corridor Plan will be used to drive the revitalization of the Corridor by

identifying key marketing and economic development opportunities and challenges, beautification opportunities, and infill development opportunities. It will also develop a Capital Improvement and Action Plan.
