Preserving The Woodlands Planning



The Woodlands area has been faced with the problem of rapid population growth. A master planned community, the construction of a new corporate campus for Exxon/Mobil will create a large population influx into the area. Here is my proposal for how we can deal with this population growth.

The Woodlands should study the possibility of building new villages and expanding westward.

When The Woodlands was first built, there was not much constructed within the South Montgomery County/North Harris County area. However, soon after The Woodlands was built, there was a large influx of economic development and now it is one of Houston’s largest edge cities. It seems like the entire reason for the population influx was The Woodlands good planning and livability. I think it is important, that as we grow, we keep that livability and good planning, as that is the reason we have grown in the first place. Right now, we are going through another boom, instigated by the construction of Exxon/Mobile’s new campus. I believe a good way to handle this, is to create another village for The Woodlands and build it west of The Woodlands. The Woodlands is a great city and a great part of the Houston Metropolitan Area. I hope and pray that we will keep The Woodlands good planning together and I think an antidote would be to expand The Woodlands and build new villages as we face this population growth.
