During the recent Manvel Economic Development Commission meeting on December 11, 2024, a significant focus was placed on infrastructure improvements, particularly regarding wastewater management. Commission members discussed the need to advocate for state funding to enhance local infrastructure, following insights gained from a recent tax workshop.

The commission emphasized the importance of requesting legislators to earmark funds specifically for wastewater projects. This initiative aims to secure financial support that would help address the city's growing infrastructure needs. Additionally, there was a call to refund the Texas capital funding, which could further bolster the city’s resources for essential services.

These discussions highlight the commission's proactive approach to ensuring that Manvel's infrastructure can support its development and growth. By seeking state assistance, the commission aims to improve the quality of life for residents and foster a more sustainable community.

As the commission moves forward, the focus will remain on engaging with state legislators to secure the necessary funding, which is crucial for the city's future development plans.
