Hundreds of Houston’s public and private sector leaders gathered at the last State of the City address of Mayor Sylvester Turner’s first term May 20. Among the highlights Turner discussed were job growth, substantial flood mitigation plans and a new “50-for-50” parks plan that aims to pair 50 underserved parks with 50 private companies for volunteer opportunities and monetary donations. Turner also said more work is needed to close the achievement gap among students in Houston and address traffic, the No. 1 concern from residents reported in the recently released Kinder Institute Houston Annual Survey.
