Construction on the 153,000-square-foot facility will start "very soon," Gil Staley, CEO of The Woodlands Area Economic Development Partnership, said.
The Woodlands store will be the sixth Houston area location for Costco. In order to induce Costco to open a store, The Woodlands Township approved a $2.3 million sales tax grant, township president Don Norrell said.
"This is sales tax the township would not otherwise receive if this project was constructed outside of the township boundaries," Norrell said.
