I wish they would develop it like Conroe or at the very least Camp Creek so there was another close lake house option

This. Gibbons has become less and less accessible over the years. Very unfortunate.

I wish they would offer the land that was condemned back in the 70s back to the original owners who didn't want them there to begin with.

I am ignorant about this type of company but I can't see how they make money just on remediation. I suspect Houston/Harris county has birddogged this area for a long term landfill option which would continue Grimes county's history of being crapped on again.

No idea if this is the case here, but I know there are companies that remediate wetland areas for Mitigation Banking. The Mitigation Credits generated from the remediated wetlands can be used to offset environmental damage in other places or can be sold to other companies to offset environmental damage in other areas. I know some construction companies that perform the wetland remediation and then hold the mitigation credits as an investment. This would be a very good development for Gibbons Creek if this were indeed the case.

I do remediation for coal mines all across Texas and most of that land won't be ready for development for 5-10 years. I believe they are about 65-70% done.There's a lot of money in remediation...most of my jobs will be ongoing past my retirement in 15 years.

With current growth patterns that area might be an attractive development space in 10 years.
