The extension allows for greater community connectivity and the further development of the Wildwood area with new housing, according to Tim Fitzpatrick, community development manager of the Friendswood Development Company. The Tomball Independent School District plans to build an elementary and intermediate school in the area as well.
The Greater Tomball Area Chamber of Commerce and the Friendswood Development Company held a ribbon cutting for the extension March 26. Northpointe Boulevard previously ended at Northpointe Ridge.
"This is a very important phase," Fitzpatrick said. "We think [Wildwood at Northpointe] will be one of the most beautiful communities in Houston."
