Shenandoah leaders have delayed a plan to rezone city-owned property in the predominately Black community of Tamina for commercial development after hearing concerns from those residents.
A section of Tamina with light industry and some residential housing is seen, Thursday, Feb. 24, 2023, in Tamina.
The rezoning issue coupled with the recent agreement between Shenandoah and the Old Tamina Water Supply Co. to bring water and sewer to the community of about 1,000 has left residents concerned the city is pushing them out to make way for wealthier commercial development. Tamina, founded by emancipated slaves in 1871, is across Interstate 45 from The Woodlands.
According to the comprehensive plan, areas along Tamina Road to Johnson Road are zoned retail and office space. Currently, those areas are mostly residential. Areas east of the railroad tracks in Shenandoah’s extraterritorial jurisdiction are zoned industrial, light industrial and mixed.
