Does Riceland benefit current residents in any way?

Riceland benefits the current residents in a few major ways. The City of Mont Belvieu will receive a whole set of first-class amenities and public infrastructure at zero cost to the current Mont Belvieu resident tax-payer. Riceland, the MPC, will eliminate what would be unplanned, piecemeal growth that would otherwise occur on Riceland’s 1,450 acres within the City.
