REGIONAL PLAN FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE

The Houston Galveston region is expected to be home to 4 million new residents in the next 30 years. Where will those residents live? How will this change affect quality of life? How will they get around? The Houston Galveston Regional Plan for Sustainable Development is an important chance to look forward and find ways to keep your community prosperous, healthy and attractive for generations to come.

If you have ideas and opinions about how to assure the livability of the Houston-Galveston region in the years to come, please join us at the following event:
