3. Montgomery County residents will see a larger tax rate reduction for 2017 than originally expected.
A 1-cent reduction was factored into the new budget before it was approved last week as a way to reduce the burden of rising home appraisal values on homeowners.
4. The city of Shenandoah will continue discussions Wednesday regarding a possible charter committee. If residents decide by a referendum to transition to a
home-rule city when the community reaches a population of 5,000, it will need to draft a city charter. Eight residents have applied for the committee, and City Council is expected to select individual appointments during its meeting this week.
5. The long-awaited Pappasito’s Cantina is set to open for dinner Tuesday at 18101 I-45 S. The restaurant offers Tex-Mex dishes and handcrafted margaritas. www.pappasitos.com
6. After a packed summer, concert season at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion will be winding down over the next month. Upcoming shows include 5 Seconds of Summer, Counting Crows and Rob Thomas and Luke Bryan.
