The Jersey Village City Council is set to tackle two pressing agenda items at its regular meeting on Nov. 17. Council members will review plans to relocate community groups currently using a church campus that is undergoing Phase 1 construction of the City Campus project, and they will weigh a proposal for a May 2027 bond election to fund Phase 2.
Phase 1 construction impacts local groups
Phase 1 of the City Campus project involves renovating two existing buildings, adding a new lobby, demolishing three structures, and making site improvements. As construction begins, three of the four buildings on the church campus will be closed to the public.
City staff data show that from Oct. 2025 through Sep. 2026, the Jersey Village Senior Outreach program and the Boy and Cub Scouts accounted for more than half of all booked hours at the campus. With the loss of three buildings, the council must decide how to continue serving these groups.
Proposed relocation plan
Staff recommends moving all affected groups—except the Boy and Cub Scouts—to the remaining fourth building on the campus. However, the building contains only a single space suitable for regular use, and Phase 2 construction is expected to displace those groups again.
Council members expressed concern at the Oct. regular meeting about the disruption to these community services. The upcoming discussion will focus on whether the proposed relocation adequately meets the needs of seniors and youth, and what additional resources might be required to ensure continuity of service.
Potential bond election for Phase 2
In addition to the relocation issue, the council will consider a bond measure slated for a May 2027 election. The bond would fund Phase 2 of the City Campus project, which includes further building upgrades and additional site work.
While the bond proposal is still in the preview stage, council members will outline its scope, projected costs, and anticipated benefits for the community. The discussion will give residents an early look at the financing plan before the formal ballot measure is placed before voters.
Community response and next steps
Local stakeholders, including senior‑outreach volunteers and scouting leaders, have been invited to provide input during the council meeting. City officials emphasize that maintaining access to community programs is a priority, even as the city moves forward with its long‑term development goals.
After the council’s deliberations, any decisions on relocation will be documented in the meeting minutes, and the bond proposal will be refined for inclusion on the 2027 ballot. Residents are encouraged to stay informed through council updates and upcoming public hearings.
Why this matters
The City Campus project represents a significant investment in Jersey Village’s infrastructure and public spaces. How the city balances construction progress with the needs of seniors, youth, and other community groups will shape the quality of life for families across the area.
