LETTER FROM THE COMMISSIONER

Dear Neighbors,


Summer is here, and Precinct 3's parks and community centers are ready for you! Be sure to read through to find family-friendly events you won't want to miss.


This was a busy month with major movement on projects impacting Precinct 3 - starting with East Harris County's huge win as the EPA took a critical step toward removing the toxic northern San Jacinto River Waste Pits. Then, we ended May with the groundbreaking of the Greenhouse Road/290 Underpass in Cypress, which will reduce traffic and emergency response issues by diverting traffic underneath the railroad tracks.


Both of these projects have been critical needs for Harris County for decades. Reaching this point required years of coordination between multiple layers of government, relentless community advocacy, public and private sector interactions - all with a goal to make our community safer and better. These two are the perfect examples of how impactful local government can be when we work with our community partners.


Lastly, we know hurricane season is top of mind for many residents. Rest assured, Precinct 3’s engineers are working closely with the Harris County Flood Control District to ensure critical projects continue moving forward, while our Road and Bridge team is hard at work maintaining drainage ditches, clearing limbs from roadways, and actively training to ensure a swift response when needed.


Precinct 3 takes pride in focusing on our core duties to you and executing them efficiently and responsibly.


Always an honor to serve you,

Commissioner Tom Ramsey

REMEMBERING

AUSTIN ADAM KANUCH 🕊️

We gathered at Cypress Park alongside Crimestoppers of Houston and the loved ones of Austin Adam Kanuch for our We Remember Memorial.


On September 22, 2023, Austin’s life was tragically cut short by a senseless act of violence. While his murder remains unsolved, this memorial stands as a beautiful sanctuary of love, remembrance, and hope for his family. We remain faithful that justice will be served.

EPA DEMANDS SAN JACINTO RIVER WASTE PITS CLEANUP

Commissioner Ramsey joined Jackie Medcalf (THEA), Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia and Carolyn Stone (Channelview Health and Improvement Coalition) to provide a critical update on the San Jacinto River Waste Pits. 📣


On April 28, the EPA ordered International Paper and McGinnes Industrial Maintenance to remove the dioxin-contaminated waste and complete a full cleanup to federal standards.


This long-overdue victory marks a massive step forward in protecting our community's health and environment for generations to come. Read more about this news here. 🙌💙
