Greens Bayou Part of HGAC Sustainable Communities Work Groups

Imagine the year is 2040..... what will our 13-county greater Houston region look like? Will you be able to get around without using a car? Will you have a choice of housing options? Will you have opportunities to connect with nature? How can we create a more prosperous region that allows families a secure future?

The Houston-Galveston Area Council (http://www.h-gac.com/) is undertaking a 3 year study involving a wide cross section of people representing expertise and geographic diversity. The resulting Regional Plan for Sustainable Development will look at current and future opportunities to meet the needs of diverse communities and residents of the region in a manner that doesn't compromise the needs of future generations. The plan will lay out goals for the region, develop metrics to assess sustainability, analyze regional scenarios, and recommend implementation strategies.

We are pleased to announce that GBCC Development Director, Jill Boullion, has been selected for the "Environment" group and will represent the needs and desires of the communities along Greens Bayou and its watershed. The work groups will meet for the first time in August and we'll keep any developments posted here in our blog. Stay tuned!
