Jim Carman, President of the Houston Region for The Howard Hughes Corporation®, issued an open letter to residents of The Woodlands®, opposing the rushed incorporation of the state’s only township. “I don’t care what the city (does) as long as the city remains clean,” another resident said. “I’m currently against it, and the reason why (is because) I feel like it’s rushed,” Patrick Stites said.
KPRC 2 asked people what they think about keeping The Woodlands a township or making it a city. That’s a false negative that’s being spread by people who are against incorporation, but where it really would impact people is at the resident level,” Milner said. “It would really have little no effect on business. Any increase in a tax bill, who’s going to pay it? We are,” Noack said. “All of the business owners in Montgomery County are going to face higher taxes. The tax rate would remain the same, according to the chart. The township published a chart on their website that displays the differences between The Woodlands Township and the possibility. “If an incorporation were to happen, not only is it going to be a massive tax increase, but you are going to change the face of law enforcement in The Woodlands forever,” he said. Montgomery County Commissioner for Precinct 3, James Noack, said the proposition is unnecessary. “Well, I think the most critical piece is letting the residents be in control of what the resident wants,” Milner said. Some residents like Bob Milner want the township to become the City of The Woodlands. Just north of Houston, you’ll find The Woodlands Township, established in 1974. One man said he likes the township as it is now, and another person said residents should be in control. It’s an important vote since The Woodlands businesses and residents could be affected by this potential change. THE WOODLANDS – Incorporating The Woodlands to become its own city was on today’s ballot for some residents.
