Humble City Council members authorized $80,000 to the Humble Museum on Aug. 22 for restoration and tourism initiatives. The backstory The Humble Museum had undergone multiple expansions and renovations before moving to the band hall at Charles Bender High School in November 2020. According to previous Community Impact reporting, the city provided over $520,000 for renovations to the museum and has allocated funding each year since. What’s next? The new set of funding will go toward expanding exhibits at the museum and promoting tourism opportunities for visitors to the city.
Humble City Council members moved through the city’s proposed fiscal year 2024-25 budget on Aug. 13 allocating $27.2 million toward infrastruc- ture projects over the next year. Following the completion of several projects— including the replacement of Humble Fire Station No. 2, a new senior activity center, the South Bender Avenue rehabilitation project and the reconfiguration of Main Street and South Houston Avenue—council members agreed to allocate funding across four project categories: wastewa- ter, road, water and drainage. A closer look The projects include smaller improvements to flow and drainage across the city as well as replacing aging lines. Budget documents show

the most critical project is the replacement of the main sewer line connecting the northern part of the city to water and sewer treatment plants. “We are finally at a point where it is 100% engineered and designed,” City Manager Jason Stuebe said. The line replacement is expected to take 18 months to complete, but Stuebe said city officials are hoping to bid the project for con- struction in October.
