The Eastland Area Strategies Team

Established in 2003 to support the economic development goals of the Eastland Area Plan, E.A.S.T. works closely with public and private entities to enhance the area surrounding Eastland Mall -- focusing on the area from Shamrock Drive to Monroe Road, and from Eastway Drive to W.T.Harris Blvd.
