What is the connection between Riceland and the City's new downtown/town center?

One of Riceland’s amenities to benefit the Community is a re-establishment of Mont Belvieu’s historical hometown center – which, being located on the salt dome and the city’s current industrial footprint to the west - was lost due to safety regulations 30+ years ago. To replace what was lost to history, Riceland’s goal is to recreate a central ‘Hometown Texas’ location for Mont Belvieu to serve as the heart and the hub of the city.
