OneChance Posted June 4, 2019 Report Posted June 4, 2019 Released by Lumberton Ledger tonight BREAKING LUMBERTON IS GROWING: The Lumberton Muniple Utility District board of Directors announces an agreement with Brampton Essential LP owner of a 3200 acre tract of land located off of FM421. Brampton (the developer) has announced plans for multi phase residential and commercial area with open spaces and green belt areas that will provide a unique setting for Lumberton’s residents and community. Roger Fussel with LMUD says, “this will be a several year project in several different phases, and said if he had to compare it to something based of the information he has, it will be much like the Woodlands area.” He also added that the homes will be much like the ones we’ve seen being built in Lumberton lately. The location is West of the Lumberton City park and will be on both North and South sides of FM 421. And about a 50% increase in population. With that size increase Lumberton ISD better be prepared and get a plan in place, Schools are already undersized for current enrollment. Quote

I was told when they dropped in 4a they were already back in 5a. That’s alot of homes. Quote

If Lumberton grows Vidor shrinks. I would like to see Vidor drop down to 4a they would make some noise and they would make our district stronger. So I could take that trade. Ever since Harvey it Hurt the Vidor area. Quote

Well, if Lumberton move up to 6a, theyll pull numbers from Beaumont. I would look for West Brook's numbers to drop in proportion to Lumberton's growth. I doubt United would take that hit if you know what I mean... Quote

CardinalBacker Posted June 4, 2019 Report Posted June 4, 2019 Don't just assume that the project is in Lumberton ISD. Bear Creek and I think Rock Ridge are both out that way and at least one of them is in HJISD. You don't have to go very far past the city park to get into Hardin-Jefferson's territory. Does anybody know for sure? Quote

navydawg31 Posted June 4, 2019 Report Posted June 4, 2019 People will move to this new neighborhood. Yes, but I don’t think to many from say Houston area/ outside of Golden triangle are begging to come to Lumberton. Sure this might move them back to 5A. But not 6A. I can see like mentioned earlier Vidor getting affected with this as well as Nederland, PNG, BC, BMT. I mean look at all those new neighborhoods that popped up in BC and OF and that didnt raise BC school district by any means and OF actually went down. Same with HF tons of new neighborhoods and school didn’t move up classification or anything.... but that’s my point of view. Quote

If your getting retired folks that’s not going to help the enrollment. LCM school district has around 20,000 citizens in their district a few years ago so. I’m sure it’s went down since Harvey. Quote
5GallonBucket Posted June 5, 2019 Report Posted June 5, 2019 Well there also gonna make Highway 69 go behind the high school. Go to txdot website. Look at U.S. 69 Beaumont district corridor map CardinalBacker 1 Quote

None of those cities you mentioned have developed 3200 acres and increased the population by 50%. Most local developments are under well under a 100 acres. Quote

whsalum Posted June 5, 2019 Report Posted June 5, 2019 1600 acres on each side of FM421 just west of the park will fall entirely in the Lumberton ISD. Quote
82 5A State Champs Posted June 5, 2019 Report Posted June 5, 2019 As a 93 graduate of West Brook, and a current Lumberton resident, if the city grew enough for the Raiders to get to 6A, it wouldn't do anyone in that district any good. Nobody, especially Lumberton, would benefit from playing against 6A competition, especially in the Houston area. Just my .02 BMTSoulja1 1 Quote
Guest ECBucFan Posted June 5, 2019 Report Posted June 5, 2019 Lumberton will grow, but 6A is a loooong way off. Quote
