Next Playground Projects The original intent for the remaining playground bond funds was to install a new playground at Lake Nacogdoches West Park. With the savings from the first two playgrounds, combined with the budget for the last playground, we will instead be purchasing 3 mid-sized playgrounds for Lake Nacogdoches West Park, Lake Nacogdoches East Park, and Lakeside Park.

Park Restrooms Park Restrooms were a common request during the Parks and Recreation Master Plan Project. Former restrooms were built in the 1970s and 1980s and, after more than 30 years of use, needed to be replaced. Four restrooms were replaced in 2021 using a combination of reserve funds, private donations and ARPA funds. Our next group of restrooms to be installed will be paid for by bond funds as approved by our local voters.

General Obligation Bond Project Proposition D - Cemetery

Sunset Cemetery Building Improvements Sunset Cemetery Office and Shop The current office and shop building will be converted into an office and staff area that will be used for plot sales, adminstrative duties, and meetings. The office building will remain largely the same from the exterior.

The mechanic shop (visible through the office door) will be moved to a new metal building in a separate part of the cemetery so that noises from mechanical work and fumes from chemicals will not impact meetings and other office duties.

Budget: $425,000 Location: Sunset Cemetery - 5127 North Street Funds will be used to remodel the interior of the current Sunset Cemetery office building, and construct a new shop in a separate part of the cemetery for equipment and maintenance. The current office building, which was formerly a chappel, houses both the office and the equipment and machinery shop. Separating these two facilities will lead to better customer service opportunities and more space for cemetery staff to work on necessary equipment and maintenance tasks. A professional, dedicated office space is crucial to providing for great customer interactions during plot sales and other cemetery-related meetings. www.nactx.us

Capital Improvement Program Hotel Occupancy Tax Funds (HOT Funds)

Zion Hill Historic Site Exhibit Project In September of 2025, City Council approved a contract between the City of Nacogdoches and Exhibit Concepts for the research, design and fabrication of permanent exhibits for the Zion Hill Historic Site.

In November, an open house was held for community members to meet the Exhibit Concepts team and share thoughts on the exhibit Project Budget: $250,000

The draft renderings, seen here, are the initial concept that was developed by City of Nacogdoches staff in conjunction with Exhibit Concepts.

The next steps of the project will focus on selecting photographs, stories, and artifacts to be incorporated into the exhibit. During this process, staff will continue engaging with the Zion Hill community and congregation members to help ensure as many stories, memories, and perspectives as possible are included.

Draft Designs

Zion Hill Church underwent a 20-year restoration process that was spearheaded by the Nacogdoches County Historical Foundation and City of Nacogdoches. The final phase of this project is creation of custom, permanent exhibits telling the full history of the church, congregation, neighborhood and architecture of the building.

Hotel Occupancy Tax Funds (HOT Funds) The Hotel Occupancy Tax Funds, commonly called HOT Funds, can be used for a multitude of tourism related activities. In Nacogdoches the HOT funds currently support (in full or partially) the Convention and Visitors Bureau, Nacogdoches Expo Center, Historic Restoration Grants, the Zion Hill Church Exhibit project, and annual repairs to the City owned historic sites.

Central Station consolidates three existing operations into a single new headquarters facility at 710 East Pilar Street: current Station 2, Station 5, and Fire Administration. The new location is positioned to better align key apparatus and equipment with the response districts served from a central location, while bringing front-line crews, command staff, and administrative offices together under one roof. The building's design draws on architectural elements from historic downtown Nacogdoches, and the entry atrium and public waiting area will incorporate much of the existing Fire Museum's collection, including our 1923 Seagrave pumper, affectionately known as Big Bertha. *All figures are based on the original GO bond issued by the City of Nacogdoches.

The new Station 2 replaces the existing facility at 408 SW Stallings Drive with a new building at 2730 South Fredonia. The relocation is sited to better align the station with current response demand patterns across its district and provide more direct access to the primary response corridors used during emergency calls.

The facility is designed to contemporary fire station standards that protect firefighter health and support operational readiness. Clean and contaminated zones are separated throughout the building to support cancer prevention practices, with dedicated decontamination and turnout gear handling areas keeping gear storage isolated from living quarters. Apparatus bays accommodate current-generation engines, equipment, and personal protective gear. Crew accommodations meet current workforce standards, and the structure is built to essential-facility standards for storm resilience and continuity of operations during severe weather. *All figures are based on the original GO bond issued by the City of Nacogdoches.

Landfill Major Permit Amendment & Expansion (FY 2024- ) In November 2024, the City contracted professional engineering services for a Type I Major Amendment Permit Application for the City Landfill, which provides for vertical and lateral landfill expansion by connecting Blocks M and P, raising the top elevation of Blocks M, P, and O, and expanding the landfill waste footprint of Block O. Due to the multiyear nature of this effort, the work was divided into phases with Phase I beginning in 2024 and Phase II beginning in March 2026.

Project benefits include: a 17-acre increase to the landfill waste boundary (36.6 to 53.4 acres); 50-foot increase to the landfill height; 7 million-cubic-yard increase to remaining capacity (3 to 10 million); extension of the landfill’s useful “life” by 50 years; potential for additional $150 million in revenue; and relocation of the landfill site entrance.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM Downtown Projects Implementation Strategy

Downtown In Dec. 2025, the City finalized a Downtown strategy to develop a centralized parking facility, Banita Creek promenade, Festival Park improvements, and evaluate the adaptive reuse of Downtown buildings.

Centralized Parking Facility - A multi-story parking facility is proposed at the southeast corner of Pilar and S Fredonia Street. The parking lot is privately owned by Elliott Electric Supply, which is renovating the adjacent former bank building into a new corporate headquarters. Elliott Electric has a unique opportunity to initiate a public-private partnership with the City of Nacogdoches and construct a multi-level parking garage that can serve Elliott Electric employees and the public.

Banita Creek Promenade - The Banita Creek Promenade project is proposed on the north side of Banita Creek, just south of Monk Street. Today, this area of Downtown Nacogdoches is an open, grassy field. The recommended improvements for the Banita Creek Promenade include a paved hike and bike trail, shaded rest areas, public art, pedestrian lighting, and wayfinding/informational signage.

Festival Park Improvements - Redevelopment of Festival Park is proposed on the existing site, just south of the Banita Creek Promenade, on a 12.8-acre city-owned park that is currently an underutilized, grassy field. The full vision for the activation of Festival Park includes an amphitheater, along with a paved hike and bike trail, a detention pond, a food truck park, upgraded restroom facilities, a concession area, a realigned Cox Street, and updates to Pecan Street.

Adaptive Reuse of Buildings - The City is examining various buildings downtown and if/how they can be adapted for a use that increases taxable value and revenue. There are several public buildings, namely the Fire Station and City Hall, that can be renovated into retail, restaurant, or hospitality spaces.
