TOWNSHIP FROM THE BOARDROOM During its latest meeting, The Woodlands Township Board of Directors advanced several initiatives supporting community engagement, environmental stewardship and long-term planning. The Board issued proclamations recognizing March 2026 as Theatre In Our Schools Month and April 2026 as Earth Month in The Woodlands. These designations underscore the Township’s commitment to educational enrichment, creative development and sustainability, while encouraging residents, schools and businesses to participate in activities that strengthen the community and the environment. In support of data-driven decision-making, the Board unanimously approved the selection of Polco National Research Center to conduct the 2026 Residential Survey. The statistically valid survey, distributed in May with results expected in June, will provide key insights to guide future policy and budget priorities. Operational updates reflected strong service delivery and community partnerships. Waste Management reported serving more than 35,000 homes with high recycling participation and low contamination rates, alongside continued investment in environmental education. Public safety partners addressed legal considerations regarding motorized devices, noting limitations in current state law and enforcement authority on roadways and Township property. The Board unanimously approved the term sheet with Early Bird for the short course golf complex on the South Gosling Tract. This represents progress toward a formal agreement, which aims to expand access to public golf while preserving the natural character of the property. The Board also unanimously approved a 50-year amended lease agreement for the George Mitchell Nature Preserve, reinforcing long-term conservation and recreational access. Financially, the Township remains strong, with revenues exceeding budget and sales tax collections outperforming projections. Additional actions included adoption of the Ad Hoc Communications Committee charter and acceptance of updates on transportation projects and village activities.

We all love being out in the natural beauty of our community, and it’s an especially great place for walking our dogs. However, one major contributor to water pollution is often found along pathways and green spaces: it’s dog waste. While everyone agrees that dog waste is unsightly, it’s also a major environmental pollutant. A dog’s diet produces waste that is toxic, and carries diseases such as Salmonellosis, Parvo and Coccidia that can be transmitted to wildlife, pets and humans. When not removed, rain washes this into storm drains and waterways. Please bag and put dog waste in a trash receptacle for a healthier hometown. RESPECT THE PATH, PICK UP WASTE
