The city's longest-serving council member Scott Sheley sees a greener future in the revitalization of downtown Baytown.
Sheley envisions a thriving art and entertainment district along Texas Avenue. The Texas Avenue Restoration Project supports the establishment of an art center and the abandoned Brunson Theater will be retrofitted rather than torn down.
The companies that revamped Lee College with greener facilities, such as an eco-friendly performing arts center, lend their suggestions on how to design an energy efficient performance arts theater.
"They are guaranteeing us a certain amount of money in hundreds and thousands of dollars that we are saving on electric cost," Sheley said.
To keep up with Baytown's green lifestyle, the green guru created a curriculum called "Waste in Place" that teaches the city's future leaders how to efficiently minimize and dispose of waste through fun, hands-on activities.
"We've planted more than a seed now, we have to nurture what's growing in front of us," Sheley said.
"Dr. Recycle," Sheley's alter ego, taught the children at the Art League of Baytown's Summer Art Camp the importance of recycling.
The children at the camp constructed the future of downtown Baytown with salvaged material and the model was exhibited at a city council meeting.
