Redistricting brought many changes for Harris County precincts 3 and 4 in 2022. Precinct 3 Commissioner Tom Ramsey said 80% of his jurisdiction—which includes more than 6,500 miles of roads—is new territory. Throughout the year, Precinct 3 leadership took on several projects planned by the previous Precinct 4 sta . “We vetted every project we inherited from Precinct 4, which are now [in] Precinct 3, and we think we have made them even better. I think they were all good, and we made them great,” Ramsey told Community Impact . Part of an e ort to construct the remaining two lanes of the Greenhouse Road four-lane concrete boulevard from north of West Road toward Hwy. 290 wrapped up in 2022, and work will continue through the rst quarter of 2023. The comprehensive project cost more than $9.2 million. Several other Cy-Fair projects are slated to break ground this year, including a $7.5 million project to widen the two- lane asphalt Cypress North Houston Road to a four-lane concrete boulevard from Perry Road to Jones Road. The next phase of a project to widen Telge Road from Louetta Road to the Grand Parkway will pick up again this year and continue through at least 2025, Ramsey said. Additionally, a two-phase plan to widen Schiel Road from Mason Road to the Grand Parkway will be a $9 million

School district prepares for new attendance boundaries in 2023-24 BY DANICA LLOYD The Cy-Fair ISD board is expected to vote on proposed attendance boundary changes for the 2023-24 school year Jan. 12. O cials rst announced the plan Nov. 14 and said 44 campuses could be a ected. Board members said re-evaluating boundaries to balance enrollment numbers is more cost e ective than building new schools to accommodate growth, but they have acknowledged rezoning is not easy. Dozens of parents opposing the proposed changes from Towne Lake, Bridge Creek, Hidden Arbor, Stone Gate and other Cy-Fair neighborhoods spoke to the board in December.

Updated ood maps expected in 2023
FLOOD MAPS: FROM MODELING TO ADOPTION The Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Harris County Flood Control District have been working on concurrent ood mapping projects for Harris County. MAAPNEXT PROJECT (completed) Work on the HCFCD’s Modeling, Assessment and Awareness Project begins. 2019 The HCFCD reports being 70% done with ood plain maps, projecting FEMA will release preliminary maps in spring or summer 2022. May 2021 Jan. 25, 2022 The HCFCD reports being 96% done with its work and shifts its projection
BY RACHEL CARLTON
HCFCD bond passed in 2018. HCFCD Executive Director Tina Petersen said the project is helping produce di erent maps than what is available nationally from FEMA. “What the residents will get [with MAAP- next] is comprehensive ood plain modeling as well as a suite of ood risk tools … to inform their understanding of their risks,” she said. Hannan said MAAPnext uses updated rainfall and topographic data to create more comprehensive maps than the ones available in recent years. He said previous ood events, such as Hurricane Harvey, have shown more than 60% of the ooding was outside the ood plain. “It’s not a regulatory map [designating] 100-year or 300-year [ ood zones], but we are showing the local ooding [not] from an insur- ance point of view,” Hannan said. O cials said MAAPnext’s dashboard will complement the release of FEMA’s maps. A process will then begin to revise the maps before they become o cial in late 2024 or 2025. After a 90-day public comment period, communities will adopt or amend their ood plain management ordinances.
HARRIS COUNTY The Federal Emergency Management Agency will release Harris County’s preliminary ood insurance rate maps sometime in 2023, according to Harris County Flood Control District o cials. In a May 2021 Harris County Commissioners Court update, the HCFCD projected FEMA would release maps in the spring or summer of 2022 but has continually pushed back its estimate. FEMA o cials could not con rm a release date. Federal law requires FEMA to assess if ood maps need to be revised or updated at least every ve years. Local ood control entities provide information for those maps, which show ood risk and mandate the purchase of ood insurance in high-risk areas. HCFCD Planning Division Director Ataul Hannan said FEMA’s ood maps have not been updated countywide since 2007, but several of the areas making up the maps have changed due to the completion of HCFCD projects. Work on the countywide update began in 2019 with the advent of the Modeling, Assessment and Awareness Project, or MAAPnext, which is funded by FEMA grants and the $2.5 billion
for FEMA’s map release to summer or fall 2022. Feb. 22, 2022 The HCFCD says it has sent mapping data to FEMA.
RELEASE OF PRELIMINARY MAPS
18-24-month period after release: • Residents have 90 days to provide feedback on the FIRMs, which may be revised before being nalized. • Communities have six months to adopt or amend ood plain ordinances based on the new FIRMs. SOURCES: HARRIS COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT, FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY COMMUNITY IMPACT 2023, at which point the MAAPnext dashboard goes live.

White Oak Bayou ood mitigation e orts to resume in January BY DANICA LLOYD O cials with the Harris County Flood Control District announced Dec. 2 work will soon resume on a project designed to improve channel conveyance on a 15-mile stretch of White Oak Bayou. The project was temporarily put on hold when the contractor previously assigned to the project declared bankruptcy. A construction company was selected Nov. 29 to complete the segment from FM 1960 to Hollister Road, o cials said, and work is expected to begin in early January within a 420- day contract. Construction for this segment began in fall 2020. The ood control district is expected to advertise the segment from Hollister Road to Cole Creek in early 2023.

Jersey Village continues discussions on potential baseball stadium
BY DANICA LLOYD
The city signed a nonbinding letter of intent with real estate advisory rm KHJR in early 2022. This rm plans to develop the land with a 4,500-seat baseball stadium, a new City Hall, multifamily housing, retail and hotel space, and family entertainment. KHJR Partner Chris
Kay said the rst phase could be completed as early as 2025. City Manager Austin Bleess said at build-out, the development would increase the city’s tax base with an annual $1.3 million in property tax revenue, $160,272 from sales tax and $148,803 in hotel occupancy tax.
