DESCRIPTION
Sienna Plantation Levee Improvement District of Fort Bend County (the "District") has called a parks and recreational facility bond election for November 3, 2009. Sienna Plantation residents will have the chance to vote for or against giving the District the ability to sell a maximum amount of $49 million for park and recreational facilities and to expand the District’s maintenance ability to maintain those parks. The District started this journey by working with Sienna Plantation residents and past surveys facilitated by SPRAI to list the amenities the residents felt were lacking in Sienna Plantation. Thorough through investigation and numerous meetings requesting feedback and information, the following Sienna Plantation Master Park Plan was created. The Master Park Plan is a long-range goal of amenities that can be provided in Sienna Plantation.TRANSCRIPT
