Montgomery approves memorandum At its April 8 meeting, Montgomery City Council unanimously approved a memorandum of understanding with BCS Capital Development for a mixed-use project on 32.72 acres. In a nutshell The memorandum outlines a cost-sharing agreement for water and sewer infrastructure extensions, roadway connections and other improvements for a development near the inter- section of Lone Star Parkway and Hwy. 105, near Home Depot, according to the agenda. The improvements are estimated to cost up to $4.8 million, with City Council agreeing to reim- burse the developer up to that amount through a combination that could include sales tax revenue, ad valorem taxes and potential grants.

Two-minute impact Montgomery County Sheriff Wesley Doolittle presented the agreement to commissioners, which would see the Waller County Jail house up to 45 Montgomery County inmates per day. Doolittle said the Texas Commission on Jail Standards requires county jails to keep their capacity around 90% of the total available space. However, Doolittle said the county has been operating between 94%-116% since he took office Jan. 1.
