Fulshear city leaders consider $250 million town square development

FULSHEAR, Texas (KTRK) -- Fulshear City Council members will meet Tuesday night to discuss a major development proposal that could transform an open field off FM 1093 and FM 359 into a hub with a hotel, sports facility, and retail. The project is called Fulshear Town Square. It is still in the conceptual stages, but renderings from the Johnson Design Group show plans for the city's first hotel, a sports complex, a fitness center, medical offices, grocery stores, and more. The Johnson Group's plan also includes ideas for what are called Fulshear Luxury Lofts, which could bring more residential space to the area. Mayor Don McCoy said the project could cost around $250 million, but it is still not clear how it will be paid for. Fulshear is in Fort Bend County and, according to U. S. Census Bureau population estimates, is the second-fastest-growing city in the country.

That growth is part of why McCoy added the proposal to Tuesday's city council meeting.
