Contractor Chosen for Conversion of Prison into Museum
May 8, 2008

The Houston Chronicle reports that the Sugar Land City Council recently tapped E.E. Reed Construction L.P. to serve as general contractor on a project that will transform the 43,000-square-foot former Central State Farm Prison Building into a space to house part of the new Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land. Redevelopment of the building, which the museum will lease from the city under a 50-year agreement at an annual fee of $1, will cost $16 million to complete. Sugar Land-based E.E. Reed is scheduled to wrap up construction activity in the summer of 2009.
