This is a message about The Woodlands Township Board of Directors election.  The opinions here are those of The Woodlands Association.

 

Services provided currently:

The Woodlands is not an incorporated city, but rather an unincorporated area in Montgomery and Harris Counties.  The services normally provided by a city are provided to Woodlands residents by the Community Associations of The Woodlands, specifically, The Woodlands Association for Sterling Ridge.  These services include garbage pickup, parks and recreation, street lights, mowing and maintenance of street right-of-ways, The Woodlands Community Policing Program, The Woodlands Fire Department, neighborhood services, covenant and deed restriction administration.  The services are funded by your Association assessments.

 

Change coming in 2010:

As a result of a community-wide election in November 2007, the Community Associations are scheduled to cease providing those services at the end of 2009, and that responsibility will be transferred to The Woodlands Township, which is a special purpose taxing district that can collect sales and property taxes.  Assuming everything goes as scheduled, the last homeowners' assessment bills will be for the 2009 year, submitted in late 2008.  Beginning in late 2009, you will instead receive a property tax bill from The Woodlands Township (it will actually probably be added to the County's property tax bill).  The property tax amounts should be lower than your current assessments because the Township will collect sales taxes that will help to reduce the need for property taxes.  In fact, the Township has begun already by funding The Woodlands Fire Department for about half of 2008 and most of 2009 through its sales tax receipts.

 

Election of Board of new service providers:

The Township is holding an election on May 10 (early voting April 28 to May 6) for 5 positions on its board.  I urge all of you to learn about the candidates and vote.  While The Woodlands Township board has in the past focused entirely on the business area in Town Center, its new responsibility will include all of The Woodlands, including a vast residential area.  I feel that it is important to elect board members who will be responsive to the residents.  The Grogan's Mill Village Association has published information provided by the candidates at

Your vote counts!  In the first six days of early voting, only 2,131 people voted at The Woodlands early voting location.  Your vote will make a difference!

 

There are two days of early voting left, today and tomorrow, Monday, May 5 – Tuesday, May 6 from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM at the South County Community Building, 2235 Lake Robbins Drive, near Lake Robbins and Grogan's Mill Road.  Election Day is Saturday, May 10, and voting is 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM at your precinct voting place, which can be found at
