This podcast contains comments from the June 24, 2021 College Station city council meeting. Speakers include Anthony Armstrong.

The College Station city council is told at its last meeting that the new Aggie Park at Texas A&M starts July 6.

The council requested a staff report about the impact of stormwater drainage from the new park on Bee Creek and Brison Park.

Aggie Park is redeveloping land east of Kyle Field and north of the Association of Former Students building.

Anthony Armstrong of the city's planning and development office says the new development will meet the requirements of a 1996 interlocal agreement stormwater management plan between the university and the city.

Armstrong says Aggie Park will have mini ponds similar to Castlegate ponds off Greens Prairie Road, which will fill up during rain events then release water through pipes.

Aggie Park will also have space to hold water under a new parking lot.

The council was told Aggie Park construction is expected to take 20 months.
