The EpiCenter, a multi-purpose event and convention center Fort Bend County plans to build at the southeast corner of Southwest Freeway and Bamore Road in Rosenberg, is drawing the ire of some nearby residents who are worried that event traffic and parking will infringe upon their neighborhood.Â
A group of residents, led by Nancy Sparks and Olivia Bianchi from the Cottonwood subdivision, petitioned Fort Bend County Precinct 1 Commissioner Vincent Morales and Precinct 2 Commissioner Grady Prestage in a letter dated April 22. The petition, which asks the county to reconsider the location for the venue or provide a barrier between the building and the neighborhood, garnered more than 200 signatures.
