If incorporation does not happen, The Woodlands will be increasingly reliant on Montgomery County to pursue flood and road projects and to receive any federal money. It would also mean that The Woodlands remains in Houston’s ETJ and therefore subject to the Houston Planning Commission, a lack of zoning (as Houston has none) and potentially weaker development protections than some residents might want. (In the past, residents have had concerns about aggressive clear-cutting. A city can adopt rules on such matters.)

Please vote FOR incorporation and put our residents in control of our hometown.
