Magnolia City Council continued discussions June 16 on Magnolia Square, a proposed 59.2-acre mixed-use development near FM 1488, FM 1774 and Goodson Road.

The project, presented by LJA Planning & Landscape Architecture, is planned as a regional commercial and residential destination in western Magnolia. Plans call for retail, dining, grocery and service options, along with additional housing options to support the local workforce.

What this means: The development would be created through a planned development district, or PD, which allows the city and developer to set specific rules for the site. The PD would use auto commercial and semi-urban as the underlying zoning districts, with the city’s unified development code standards applying unless changed through the PD.

Some context: City Council approved a Chapter 380 economic development agreement with Fuqua Blackhawk Ltd. tied to the project in February.

Under the agreement, the city could provide up to $3 million in total economic development incentives. That includes up to $2.3 million in sales tax payments and up to $700,000 in roadway improvement payments.

Houston Methodist is planning enhancements to parking at The Woodlands hospital, Kyle Roth, vice president of capital planning at Houston Methodist said.

What you need to know: The project includes an expansion of an existing parking garage to improve access and convenience at the hospital.

About two weeks shy of the anniversary of deadly flooding that devastated parts of Central Texas last summer, state lawmakers approved a 115-page report chronicling what they deemed “failures” at Camp Mystic, a Christian youth camp where 27 young girls died.

The details: The family running Camp Mystic was not prepared to respond to a disaster in flood-prone Kerr County and did not act quickly enough to save campers’ lives, investigators said during a June 18 hearing at the Capitol.

Investigators Casey Garrett and Michael Massengale told lawmakers about recent interviews with teenage counselors who witnessed the July 4 tragedy, reiterating a key point from hearings earlier this year: all deaths at Camp Mystic could have been prevented if camp leaders had planned ahead and acted more quickly.

"Nobody had any idea what they needed to be doing, and it crippled them," Garrett said.

Looking ahead: Lawmakers adopted the investigative team’s report, which will be shared with legislative leaders as they draft additional policy changes in response to the flood during the 2027 state legislative session.
