The Houston City Council delayed a vote Wednesday on a new proposed conservation district pilot program. Independence Heights, Acres Homes, Freedmen's Town, Magnolia Park/Manchester, Pleasantville, and Piney Point are the six communities set to be part of the program that could test the benefits of a conservation designation. At-Large Council Member Michael Kubosh "tagged" the item due to, what he called, a lack of information on how the six communities were chosen to be initial conservation districts. Many council members representing the six neighborhoods, and Mayor Sylvester Turner, spoke out against Council Member Kubosh questioning why the communities were chosen. City officials said a conservation district is a tool that could save communities from gentrification. 🔗Read the details about this story at houstonpublicmedia.org 📸: Lucio Vasquez luicoh / Houston Public Media #HOUnews #Houston #Gentrification #HoustonCityCouncil
