The Woodlands Township Board Meeting Updates Bear Branch Dam, Drainage Projects and Proclamations

During the September 18, 2025, meeting, The Woodlands Township Board of Directors took decisive action on community projects, notably approving letters of support for the Bear Branch Dam modification and drainage initiatives. These projects, which aim to enhance flood relief, are currently funded by local municipal utility districts and state resources. The Board's unanimous backing for federal involvement in the Bear Branch and Panther Branch drainage project is expected to significantly impact the area's flood management. Proclamations were issued to declare October as Walk to School Month, which stresses the importance of physical activity and child safety, supported by the Township's 220-mile pathway network. The Board also designated October 5 as National Night Out Day, promoting community participation in crime prevention efforts.

A resolution regarding a vacancy on the Harris Central Appraisal District Board was accepted, but no nominations were made during the meeting. The Chief Administrative Officer provided updates on the E-Vehicle Education Program, with plans for further metrics to be presented later. These initiatives reflect the Board's commitment to improving community infrastructure and public safety.
