With Northgate growth, College Station to add substation

COLLEGE STATION – With all the growth at Northgate and the Research Valley Biocorridor, the City of College Station is expected to build a $4.7 million substation to handle the growth.

Around 1,700 bedrooms are currently under construction on Northgate, with an additional 2,000 on the horizon. And that’s on top of all the buildings that will be built in the Research Valley Biocorridor.

This new substation will be the seventh in College Station.
