Millions being invested into project along Buffalo Bayou in east Houston

HOUSTON — A huge project is getting started in Houston's Greater East End and Fifth Ward that will bring new trails and a new library to the beautiful green space along Buffalo Bayou.

The $310-million investment will impact the often under-served communities on the east side.

"The west has been conquered. It is time to come east and invest and make sure there is equity," Rep. Sylvia Garcia said.
