Montgomery County commissioners on July 2 approved moving the county's mosquito abatement program to a new building in New Caney from the Precinct 3 Commissioner's Office in Spring.
What it means
The county's mosquito abatement programs were previously housed by and operated from the Precinct 3 Commissioners Office, with each commissioner providing a portion of funds for spraying and mosquito control efforts during the summer. However, Precinct 4 Commissioner Matt Gray said the change is being made to accommodate the Precinct 3 recycling program, which needs to expand into the existing mosquito abatement facility.
"My understanding is Precinct 3 is moving their recycling program into that building. We've got a standalone building in [Precinct] 4, and I will take oversight of the department, and we'll continue without a hitch," Gray said.
