Recognizing Milestone Service Anniversaries
The North Houston District congratulates two longtime board members on reaching major milestone service anniversaries! Thank you to Karen Marshall for 20 years, and to George Lunnon for 25 years of service.
Public Safety Outreach Gets Area Businesses Involved
For this year’s March on Crime outreach campaign, local law enforcement focused on connecting with local business owners and their employees to build relationships, providing resources, and expanding collaborative crime prevention partnerships within the District.
Tree Trimming Efforts Shape Up Major Thoroughfares
The District’s Field Services team works hard to maintain the many trees in the area, keeping it Clean & Green regardless of the season. Recently, they trimmed 833 trees along I-45 from NHD’s southern boundary at West Road to its northern boundary near Rankin Road. This project alone surpassed the total number of trees trimmed in FY2025—707 trees—and brought the total number of trees trimmed in the first half of FY2026 to a stunning 1,154 trees trimmed!

Other Projects Happening in the District
The District is teeing up two major projects for 2027 that will have big implications for mobility and transportation in the area.
West Road Sidewalk Project: Will upgrade the sidewalk system to six-foot-wide pathways along both sides of West Road between I-45 and Airline Drive.
Trail Connector Project: Will add 1,300 linear feet of new, 10-foot-wide trail running along the south bank of Greens Bayou and passing beneath I-45 to connect existing trails to the east and west. Will provide seamless access between six of the District’s eight parks.
CRE Update: Warehouse & Logistics
Development activity remains strong in 2026, with three major warehouse projects currently under construction in the District. Together, the Rushcreek Business Park, Imperial Connection, and West/45 Logistics Center developments will add more than 1 million square feet of new space—an approximate 5% increase over existing inventory.
