Montgomery County Precinct 3 Commissioner James Noack has announced the formation of a transportation task force for South Montgomery County. The committee will hold its first meeting in September and is made up of local stakeholders.
Noack said he realized the need for the task force last year when South County communities became concerned about their participation in the planning of a possible overpass at Grogan's Mill Road and Research Forest Drive.
The task force will include representatives from The Woodlands Township, Oak Ridge North, Shenandoah, the Texas Department of Transportation and Noack's office, as well as the South County Chamber of Commerce. Noack said the group will meet monthly and its goals include promoting transportation improvements, sharing of transportation ideas, seeking public input and securing project funding.
"We'll spend $500,000 on this South Montgomery County Mobility Plan, and the focus of this task force will be to turn that plan into reality," Noack said. "The plan is part one, but then actually implementing the plan, that's what this task force is really designed to accomplish."
