The Woodlands Township Board of Directors recently highlighted a number of positive developments across the community, ranging from public safety successes to infrastructure enhancements and future planning efforts. President and CEO Monique Sharp recognized the Township’s Neighborhood Services team for earning first place in its population category from the National Association of Town Watch for the National Night Out campaign. The Woodlands has ranked in the national top three for 26 consecutive years, reflecting a long-standing commitment to community involvement, crime prevention and strong partnerships with public safety agencies. The Board also reviewed a quarterly law enforcement report from Montgomery County and Harris County. Overall trends remained encouraging. Crimes of note declined, and injury-related traffic accidents fell by 9.34% compared to the prior year. Officials pointed to proactive enforcement efforts and targeted operations that helped reduce retail theft, vehicle burglaries and jugging incidents. Our partner agency’s progress continues at the intersection of Woodlands Parkway and Grogan’s Mill Road where improvements are taking shape. The project includes restored green space, updated landscaping and lighting, 423 new trees, and the “First Fifty” commemorative art installation celebrating The Woodlands’ 50-year history. Financially, the Township remains on solid footing. A recent report showed General Fund revenues running above budget through November 2025, driven largely by strong sales tax collections and grant funding. Spending also came in below budget, reflecting favorable cost savings. The Board approved a budget-focused strategic planning workshop planned for May and several committee appointments.

LEARN TO LOVE YOUR CROSSWALK This February, show a little love where it matters most—the crosswalk. Crosswalks are there to keep everyone safe. When drivers stop and pedestrians stay alert, we all get home safely.
