Last week, a proposal was made for the city to buy the old Cummings Middle School from Brownsville Independent School District, then give that property to the zoo so they can expand.

The community is welcome to attend the forum to ask questions about the potential expansion. The forum will be held at the Gladys Porter Zoo Education Center, located at 1245 East 6th Street, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
