Both the cities of Pearland and Friendswood are in the midst of updating their comprehensive plans, which will guide each city with future development and service needs.

The Pearland Community Development Department began updating the city’s comprehensive plan in late 2021 and aims to get an updated version to City Council by mid-2022, Pearland Community Development Director John McDonald previously told Community Impact Newspaper. The city last updated its plan in 2015.

Meanwhile, Friendswood looks to have its comprehensive plan updated by December; it was last updated in 1998. The planning committee hopes to present a finished plan on how to update the comprehensive plan by February, according to Friendswood Director of Community Development Aubrey Harbin.
