Five New Developments

The District is tracking five projects that have been announced or are in the planning stage. Four are logistics-related, with the fifth being a new elementary school. The projects are dispersed geographically, with two projects in the District’s northwest quadrant and one each in the northeast and southeast quadrants. Stay tuned for updates.

Airline Drive Pedestrian Improvements

The District is partnering with Harris County Precinct 2 to improve a one-mile stretch of pedestrian walkway along both sides of Airline Drive from West Road to Aldine Bender. This area gets substantial foot traffic, so the wider sidewalk aims to provide a safer and more pedestrian-friendly area. Work is slated to begin in the spring of 2024; officials expect the work to last between 60 and 90 days. Updates coming soon!
