Statements from Local Developers

Rising crime in inner cities coupled with technology have pushed families to seek higher quality communities in the suburbs with superb school districts like MISD. The expansion of both F.M. 1488 as well as the extension of S.H. 249 will promote continued above average growth. The cities, school districts and other services will need to take significant steps in the short term and long term to address such growth in a manner that will maintain the quality of services to existing and future residents.
