Tomball City Council approves $1M for 2920 rebuild and wastewater plant expansion

The Tomball City Council made significant strides in infrastructure and community support during their April 7, 2025, meeting, approving key funding initiatives aimed at enhancing local utilities and public services.

A major highlight was the unanimous approval of a $1 million annual allocation from the Tomball Economic Development Corporation (TEDC) for the rebuild of State Highway 2920. This project, which totals $4 million over the next three years, is designed to improve utilities as part of a long-term commitment to the city's infrastructure. Council members expressed enthusiasm for the project, emphasizing its importance for the community's growth and development.

In another pivotal decision, the council greenlit a $20 million annual contribution from the TEDC towards the expansion of the South Wastewater Treatment Plant. This investment is part of a larger $70 million initiative aimed at enhancing the city's wastewater management capabilities. The council's swift approval reflects a strong commitment to improving essential services for residents.

Additionally, the council authorized the sale of four used police vehicles to the Montgomery Independent School District for $3,000 each. This agreement, similar to one made last year, will provide the school district with necessary resources for its police department while also allowing the city to efficiently manage its fleet.

These decisions underscore Tomball's proactive approach to infrastructure and public safety, setting the stage for continued growth and improved services in the community.
