Here’s what each council member had to say about their priorities in the upcoming term.
In their own words
“Part of my passion has always been to get street lights put up [in] League City starting on Marina Bay Drive,” Crews said. “I started last year. It got voted down. Somebody's got to do it.”
Crews added that he’d also like to see the city enter a partnership with ride-sharing apps like Uber to offer public transportation.
The city of Kyle entered a similar partnership with Uber in October 2021 where customers in Kyle would only pay the first $3.14 of any Uber ride as long as the ride starts and ends in Kyle, Community Impact reported.
“There’s a lot of logistics that go into it, but that is something I’d like to get done in the next four years,” Crews said.
Hicks said he hopes to improve the city’s reputation amongst developers to continue to attract interest and support the city’s growth. This comes as the city seeks to develop its remaining 40% of undeveloped land and prepare for an influx of commercial and residential following the development of Grand Parkway through League City.
Hicks said he hopes to create a more efficient model for the city to work with developers.
“I’m working on the customer service model side of it, because ... for people to generate economic growth for our city ... time is money,” Hicks said. “If we’re lacking significantly in the permitting process, we’re just turning away what would be beneficial to the city.”
Hicks also said he wants to attract more commercial development to the city’s west side ahead of the Grand Parkway’s development.
“We have to make sure that we land commercial tax-carrying businesses out there,” Hicks said. “I would like to have that done before they start laying that road out there.”
