The group “Save the Katy Station” says they’ve been in contact with the new developers of the property that Katy Station sits on. The group is hosting an event Sunday from 5-8 pm at Shiloh to make the announcement as well as provide you with an opportunity to learn about the building’s past and possible future uses.
