Governance Public Workshops Rescheduled; to be Held in November
The Woodlands, Texas - The Woodlands Governance Process is entering its next phase as the community continues to explore future governance alternatives. The Governance Steering Committee (GSC), consisting of representatives from eleven key community stakeholders and the general public, has been meeting throughout the summer to set the stage for a three-tier evaluation process to select the preferred governance alternatives. The evaluation process is scheduled for completion in July 2006.
Small group discussions were recently held with randomly selected residents and local business people to gather input that was used to develop the community’s Core Governance Values. Core Governance Values are those characteristics of the community that the future governance structure must be able to successfully address. The Core Governance Values were adopted by the GSC and are being used to begin to evaluate the governance alternatives.
Rescheduled from October, the next public involvement activity is a series of Governance Workshops to be held in four geographic areas throughout the community on November 8 th and 9 th, 2005 from 7 to 9 p.m. These workshops are an exciting opportunity for residents, landowners, and business people in The Woodlands to learn more about the process and the work that has been completed to date, review and provide input on the Governance Alternatives, and review and comment on the Core Governance Values.
