FEATURED IMPACT RELOCATION Founded in 1996 by George and Janice Micheaux, the Micheaux’s restaurant has gone through a couple of evolutions to get to where it is today with its relocation to 6850 Hwy. 6, Ste. 200, Missouri City. Now called Micheaux’s Southern Cuisine , the husband-wife duo has been serving up Southern cooking at its new location since Jan. 21, George said in an email. The eatery relocated from 2447 FM 1092, Missouri City. Micheaux’s Southern Cuisine serves authentic Southern favorites, including herb-baked chicken, fried chicken, meatloaf with rice and smothered pork chops, along with sides such as okra, collard greens, black-eyed peas and sweet potatoes. The family-owned restaurant o ers the same site as the former school, which opened in 1918, according to the district. The cost of the demolition and construc- tion was $34.56 million and was rebuilt using dollars approved by voters from the $992.6 million 2018 bond program. The new school has a capacity of 450, but enrollment is 310 currently, the school district said. The new Lakeview Elemen-

TRANSPORTATIONUPDATES Retiming of Hwy. 6 traffic signals gets completed
COMPILED BY HUNTER MARROW
ONGOING PROJECTS
VICKSBURG BLVD.
The city of Missouri City completed work on April 1 to retime 16 signalized intersections along 6.7 miles of Hwy. 6 from Creekmont Drive to Colonial Lakes Drive. The work, which started in early March, is designed to improve traffic progression and reduce travel time across that section of the highway, said Shashi Kumar, the city’s engineer and director of public works, during a March 7 City Council presentation. With the signals retimed, the city anticipates reducing travel time by an average of 42 seconds eastbound and 39 seconds westbound, officials said. From Creekmont Drive to Colonial Lakes Drive, the aver- age drive will now take 10 minutes and 11 seconds instead of 10 minutes and 57 seconds during morning traffic peaks. Similar results will be seen the opposite direction during evening rush hour, according to the city. “Those numbers don’t sound like a lot, but when you’re looking at over 60,000 vehicles that are saving that time, it starts to add up,” Assistant Engineer Jeremy Davis said. The work took place because the intersection at Colonial Lakes Drive faced over 50,000 vehicles per day in 2021, up from 26,000 10 years prior. Other intersections farther south along Hwy. 6 saw greater numbers from 49,600 vehicles per day in 2011 up to 60,800 in 2021, according to traffic counts recorded by Missouri City. In addition, the city has needed to maintain additional traffic signals over the years. In 1998, Missouri City

maintained five signals, but in 2022, the city maintains 63 signals, according to the March 7 presentation. The signal retiming is only a short-termmeasure, however. The long-term approach will be to add additional lanes to that section of Hwy. 6, officials said at the meeting. The approximate cost of the retiming project was $250,000, Kumar said in an email. The project was funded through the city’s fiscal year 2020-21 budget; however, the projected start was delayed to obtain more accurate traffic counts reflective of average traffic volumes, due to the pandemic potentially skewing data.

NEWS BRIEFS Area homelessness sees 5.8%spike despite pandemic decline
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, Memorial Hermann come to contract agreement
BY CHRISTOPHER GOODWIN
A CLOSER LOOK AT THE COUNT
The Coalition for the Homeless’ annual homelessness count suggests pandemic response efforts may have helped keep the homeless- ness rates down in Harris, Fort Bend and Montgomery counties. A March 16 news release from the coalition reported more than 3,200 people were experiencing homelessness during the January count with about 1,700 in shelters and 1,500 unsheltered. The number of people experiencing home- lessness rose 5.8% from the 2021 count, but the 2022 unsheltered and sheltered numbers both saw a decline from 2020 figures. “We believe that we would’ve seen higher numbers if not for the very successful community COVID[-19] housing program,” said Michael Nichols, president and CEO of the Coalition for the Homeless, during a virtual announcement March 16. “This program as you know is a housing-focused
The number of people experiencing homelessness in the Houston area rose from 2021 to 2022.

Insurance company Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas and health care provider Memorial Hermann came to a contract agreement March 11 after previous negotiations failed. According to a news release from Memorial Hermann, in-network access has been restored to patients. “While this was a challenging endeavor, it was critical to us that BCBSTX renewed its commitment to the sustainability of Memorial Hermann, MHMD and our ACO—all integral resources to the health and well-being of the many communities we have proudly served for more than a century,” the news release stated. The announcement follows a March 1 news release that indicated contract negotiations had failed.

pandemic response that will allow our partners to rehouse 14,000 people experiencing homelessness from the fall of 2020 through 2024.” Due to the pandemic, 2021’s count results were difficult to compare to identify trends because of the use of different survey methods, he said, but the coalition has since returned to its prior methods used until 2020. Homeless counts have dropped
during the pandemic from nearly 4,000 in 2020. Overall, the number of people experiencing homeless- ness has declined 64% since 2011, according to coalition data. Announced in July 2020, Phase 2 of the Community COVID Housing Program used American Recovery Plan Act dollars to help house 7,000 more clients and added more support to ensure more long-term successes.
Port expansion plans underway amid increased demand
PORT PRODUCTS
In 2021, Houston’s main imports in the Port of Houston were consumer goods, while exports were less front-facing industries.
BY MICAH BOYD
Recent initiative Project 11 will widen the Houston Ship Channel from 530 feet to 700 feet, allowing ships to navigate the channel safely and efficiently. One of the first steps was completed in 2021, and those widening improvements are expected to finish by 2025. The port is also looking to invest $1.1 billion into more yard space, equipment, 12 ship-to-shore cranes, 19 rubber tire gantry cranes, two more container yards, another wharf, and the redevel- opment of general cargo and breakbulk docks.
The Port of Houston is expanding to maintain the capacity to accommodate overflow from other ports seen during the pandemic, according to Maria Aguirre, director of community relations and events for the Port of Houston. Aguirre gave a presentation on the state of the port at the Cy-Fair Houston Chamber of Commerce general membership luncheon March 22. High- lights included effects from the pandemic and expansion plans.

MISSOURI CITY At a March 21 meeting, Missouri City City Council approved the sale of newly authorized general obligation bonds worth $10.89 million to fund the city’s future infrastructure projects. The funds come from the city’s November bond election and unissued general obligation bonds from past voter-approved elections in 2003 and 2014, according to the city’s March 21 agenda report. The bonds will fund drainage, facilities, streets and parks projects, per agenda documents. Projects include $2 million to rehabilitate Kitty Hollow Dam, $2.82 million for a Knight Road mobil- ity project, park maintenance projects across the city worth $1.4 million, and $500,000 to design the city’s Sta-Mo Sports Complex. The council approved a not-to- exceed amount of $20 million, which includes $10.89 million in newly
FORTBENDCOUNTY Officials advocated at the Commissioners Court meeting March 22 for extend- ing election polling hours after learning that the 23 early-voting locations for the May 7 elections will be open from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. County Judge KP George asked for different polling locations to have different hours of operations. How- ever, county Elections Administrator John Oldham said that would be ille- gal due to the new Texas Legislature bills requiring polling locations to be open a minimum of nine hours, only open between 6 a.m.-9 p.m. and located inside a building, among other laws. Instead, commissioners approved new voting hours for all sites. All sites will be open 8 a.m.-7 p.m. April 25-29, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. April 30, and May 2-3 from 7 a.m.-7 p.m.
$2 million for a rehabilitation project at Kitty Hollow Dam $2.82 million for a Fort Bend mobility project on Knight Road $1.4 million for park maintenance projects $500,000 for design costs for the Sta-Mo Sports Complex Missouri City will move forward on several projects from its 2021 bond.

issued bonds and $8.93 million in refunding bonds. With the bond sales approved by council, Missouri City will send a tran- script of the sale to the Texas attorney general for review, said Allena Portis, the city’s director of financial services during the meeting. Should that review be successful, Missouri City would have those funds by April 19.

Teaching for placement Between the college’s Waco and Rosenberg campuses, the Tesla START program has graduated 43 students, according to the school’s data. The college and Tesla vets all applicants to establish that they have enough automotive experience, said Kori Bowen, the college’s senior executive director of workforce training. That can either be through an associate degree in automotive engineering or equivalent experience in the eld. After a student completes the program, they are quali ed to work at any Tesla service center in the world, Bowen said. “Tesla technicians are everywhere,” she said. “They can work at approved maintenance sites. They also travel to take care of these vehicles.” However, Tesla and TSTC maintain cohort sizes to meet the company’s technician demand while not over- saturating the market, she said. Though the number of technicians was undisclosed, Tesla reported its total worldwide employees reached 99,290 on Dec. 31, according to an annual ling with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. That number represented a 40% growth year over year compared to the 70,757 employees reported in 2020. The Tesla START program that feeds that pipeline was launched in 2019 with more than 300 graduates to date. At a cost of a little more than $2,700 for the 16-week program, students are paid $15 an hour and receive full health bene ts while in the program, according to the college’s website.

In February, Texas State Technical College brought to its Rosenberg campus the second cohort in an elec- tric vehicle service program through a partnership with Tesla. Called Tesla START, the college kicked o the 16-week program with eight students. The program aims to give students the skills necessary to become advanced electric vehicle technicians at Tesla, according to the TSTC website. The program has students learn technical expertise and earn certi - cations through a blended approach of in-class theory, hands-on labs and self-paced learning, according to the college’s website. Tesla START is one of over 50 pro- grams and degrees o ered by TSTC across several industries. Students attending the Tesla START program come from across the country for an opportunity to graduate from a Tesla-certi ed program. During the program’s initial October cohort at its Rosenberg campus, student Vincent Packer drove from California. “I want to be a part of it because that’s the future,” Packer said in a TSTC news release. “It took me a long time to decide that I wanted to be a mechanic, but it was the rst thing I learned how to do in high school, and I ended up always going back to it. Once I started to think about it, if I get into Tesla, that can be my career.” Students such as Packer make the trek to Fort Bend County to enroll in the program at the Rosenberg campus, one of seven other Tesla START partnerships in the country.
The rst Rosenberg cohort of the Tesla START program started in October 2021.

program, students are considered Tesla START technicians. Ongoing partnership Tesla approached TSTC with the idea for the partnership based on the college’s strong track record of success and its unique funding model, Bowen said. Unlike traditional universities, which are funded based on enrollment, TSTC is paid for through its job placements. “We’re [highly] motivated to place our graduates in jobs because that’s our bread and butter,” she said. The rst Tesla START cohort at TSTC’s Rosenberg campus did not utilize its own dedicated space when it kicked o in October. By February, TSTC had erected the Faraday Center, a $3 million, 6,000-square-foot building designed around the needs of the program. “When we built that lab in Fort Bend County, we made sure that it would be multipurpose for any future possible Tesla needs,” Bowen said. For example, the Faraday Center has room in its bays to house Tesla’s upcoming Cybertruck should the START program include that vehicle in its curriculum, Bowen said. “There’s really good value in being a Tesla employee,” Bowen said.
• High school diploma or GED certi cation and postsecondary automotive education level (or equivalent military service experience) acceptable to Tesla • Must be at least 18 years old • Attend and pass each of the 16-week training sessions with an 85% or higher GPA • Valid driver’s license, clean driving record and insurable • Accept employment at a Tesla Service Center within 30 days of graduation from the program The program o ers students with automotive experience the chance to become certi ed Tesla technicians. Here are a few of the requirements to be eligible for the program.
