TIRZ prevented from restoring Kingwood parks

– Northpark intersection nearing completion –

Hurricane Harvey caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage to Kingwood’s parks, but it was River Grove Park that was briefly discussed at the March meeting of the Lake Houston Redevelopment Authority/Tax Reinvestment Zone 10 (TIRZ). The lovely, community-owned park with space for soccer, lacrosse, disc golf, fishing, boating and more was just restored weeks ago, only to face more damage from a recent, and much less significant, rainfall. Frustrated Kingwood resident Allen Brown asked the board members why they were not helping the parks financially at the meeting. Check out complete article at OurTribune.com.
