TxDOT has officially announced they are moving the I-69 corridor route away from Camp Allen. This victory belongs to every person who stepped up to protect this space. Stay alert for any new public filings but for now celebrate that these grounds remain safe.
Camp Allen located in Grimes County is in the target area of TxDot\'s I-69 Corridor. If this 1200 foot wide tollway is built, it would destroy the 1100 acre Conference and Retreat Center that is visited by 42,000 people per year. Children have been coming to Camp Allen for summer camp since 1921. Over 6,000 children per year come to the facility each year for outdoor education and ecological studies. Any type of freeway would diminish the ability to have outdoor classrooms or to hold retreats from the city. NO DONATION IS REQUIRED AT THE END OF THE PETITION PROCESS.We want the I-69 corridor plan stopped from harming Camp Allen.
The threat toward Camp Allen is growing as TxDot moves forward with their plans. Call your local representative today to demand they protect this land from the proposed tollway corridor. We need to keep the pressure on until they remove this site from their construction map.

This whole project is a waste of money and will ruin a beautiful retreat center. Reroute it somewhere else.

Texas has enough highways already. Leave the woods alone for once.

Spent so many summers here growing up. Such a peaceful place and seeing it turned into a toll road would be beyond heartbreaking.
