Concerns were expressed about the City's and County's plans to develop around Center Point and promoting the expansion of the City while unimproved land is available for potential development within the existing City boundaries (infill development). Participants also expressed the desire to maintain the small-town character of the community.

The fringe area plan and agreement will help to guide voluntary development in the County outside of Center Point. That is to say, it helps to define the process by which private developers will be directed through the County's or City's land use regulations as applicable. The plan does not include any projects with the City or County acting as a developer. The coordination between the County and the City will facilitate development that is appropriate for the area each development is proposed in. The fringe area plan and agreement will help Center Point to maintain its small-town character if growth and development occur, and development in the County will occur per the vision described by its future land use map and development regulations.
