Statement on North Houston Highway Improvement Project

Statement Attributable to Bob Harvey, President and CEO, Greater Houston Partnership

“Houston is a region focused on creating growth and providing opportunity, both of which depend on modern public infrastructure.  The I-45 project is key to improving the mobility of people and goods across the entire region, while also creating jobs, reconnecting neighborhoods, expanding greenspaces, and addressing flood mitigation.

We are grateful to officials at the Federal Highway Administration, TxDOT and the Texas Transportation Commission particularly former Commissioner Laura Ryan, the City of Houston and Harris County who worked together to resolve the remaining issues and to move this transformational project forward.”
