A Message from our President
It is my pleasure to welcome you to this special edition of Quadrants, as we honor Tom Wussow, the founder of the North Houston District, following his retirement from our Board of Directors in December 2024. Along with celebrating Tom’s incredible legacy, we are pleased to share updates on planning and infrastructure, beautification and maintenance, and public safety as we move forward with our Fiscal Year 2025 objectives. Tom’s dedication is the reason the District exists today. In 1990, he mobilized area business leaders to advocate for a management district that could deliver enhanced services to North Houston. The rest, as they say, is history. On Pages 4 and 5, you’ll find highlights from District projects during Tom’s tenure. From creating the District to championing public safety, park development, and infrastructure improvements, Tom’s leadership has contributed to North Houston’s success. His vision is to make the area a place where businesses, employees, and residents want to remain deeply rooted in our culture. In this edition, we celebrate Tom not just as a visionary leader but as a true advocate for our community. His legacy inspires us as we continue making North Houston a better place for all.
Greg Simpson, President, North Houston District
