Martin’s Kingwood Town Hall: mainly on flooding
Martin's Kingwood Town Hall: mainly on flooding
About 200 area residents filled the main meeting room at the Kingwood Community Center to attend Houston Mayor Pro Tem Dave Martin’s Town Hall meeting Feb. 25. They came seeking information and to voice their concerns. They went home with both answers and unanswered questions.
Flood mitigation efforts and infrastructure improvements were the top subjects of interest of both the formal presentation and questions from residents. Martin introduced Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and his panel of speakers, Steven Costello, Houston’s chief recovery officer and Marissa Aho, chief resilience officer. TIRZ 10 Chairman Stan Sarman also provided an update on the expansion of Northpark Drive.
