District J CIP Meeting

 

Please plan to attend the upcoming District J CIP meeting which will be held on Wednesday, February 25th, at the Sharpstown Community Center (6600 Harbor Town Dr., 77036).

 

At this meeting, City officials will be presenting information about public infrastructure projects in Southwest Houston, relating to streets, drainage, and parks. I will also be providing a preliminary update on the Council District Service Fund process, which is shaping up very nicely.

 

I hope to see you in attendance this Wednesday night! 

 

Thank You,

Mike Laster - signature

Happy Lunar New Year!

 

Whether or not you consider it the year of the "sheep," "ram," or "goat," (the debate continues...), your District J office would like to wish you a Happy Lunar New Year!

 

While the Lunar New Year officially started on February 19th this year, the celebration can last as long as 15 days in many cultures! We hope you have a fun time celebrating with  friends and family at any of the multiple celebrations around town.
