The embattled Fairfield Lake State Park will reopen for day use as the Legislature questions whether it can be saved from being redeveloped into homes.
, The Texas Tribune’s daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.starting Tuesday for day use as the Legislature considers how the leased property might be saved from being redeveloped into homes.
Vistra decided to sell the property after shutting down the coal plant it operated across the lake from the park in 2018. TPWD officials have said the agency wanted to buy only the portion of the property that included the park and the company didn’t want to sell it in parts. The state never submitted a bid.
At a House committee meeting last week, legislators questioned whether the park could stay open a bit longer as they figure out if anything can be done to save it in the meantime. Parks and Wildlife staff say they have now developed a plan to reopen the property temporarily starting 8 a.m. Tuesday, March 14.
“While we still stand committed to reaching a compromise that would save Fairfield Lake State Park for future use, our team will be working hard to keep this gem as accessible as possible for as long as possible,” Parks and Wildlife State Parks Director Rodney Franklin said in a statement.
