Big changes are happening for the American Legion Post 490 on Galveston Road near Ellington Airport, in Southeast Houston. The post caught on fire last year and since then the Commander and people in the community have been working on a new plan.
With help from the public, fundraisers, donors, and organizations the new American Legion Post 490 will have a new facility. The old building will be demolished and used as a parking lot.
People in the community, veterans, commanders and county officials celebrated during a groundbreaking ceremony. “We are going to have 11,400 square foot building, five offices so that each program of the American Legion will have their own office and the hall will be represented to have over 300 people for functions and that’s going to be fantastic,” Cronin said.
Cronin says the building will also feature four pillars that represent Americanism, Children and Youth, National Security, and Veterans. After the ceremony, the post had a big party and several members say they are excited about the future. “I was kind of wondering how it would look after they rebuild. I’ve seen the blueprints and I’m very, very excited about it,” Ulysses Robertson said.To learn more about the American Legion Post 490, click
