The controversy is the land they want to build it upon. It was gifted to the county with the stipulation it can only be used as a park. If they want to build on it the descendants of the owners can demand it is returned.
Its also in the 100yr floodplain. So it just gets more complicated. This gets even more complicated as FEMA is updating the flood zone areas.
Part of Herman Park, correct?

The portion of the park in question is called the Warneke track. The Warneke family donated it to the City of Houston more than 100 years ago, and it was intended for park use only.
Real estate experts have told ABC13 that paying the Warneke heirs to use the land for a hospital could top $100 million.
Several heirs have also spoken out against the condemnation of the land.
