Multiple Tomball residents criticized the Tomball Economic Development Corporation’s leadership and called for a smaller, community-focused reuse of Legacy Square; one speaker said a 1,000-signature petition could put dissolution of the TDC on the ballot.

During public comment, dozens of Tomball residents urged the EDC and council to scale back plans for a 1,000-seat amplified venue, citing parking overflow, stormwater and flood risks, removal of green space and displacement of long-time residents; supporters said a multiuse arts venue could benefit Main Street organizations.
