Redistricting & Capital Improvement Projects District H Town Hall Meeting - April 25 @ 6 p.m.

The District H Town Hall will take place on Monday, April 25th, in person at Moody Park Community Center (3725 Fulton, Houston 77009) and virtually on Microsoft Teams. Click here for the virtual meeting.

The goals of the City's Town Hall Meetings are to receive public input about redistricting and to share information about Capital Improvement Projects. Details about the redistricting process can be found on the Planning and Development Department’s website and in this committee presentation. Please view page 9 of the presentation to see what the 2020 Census determined current populations of all Council Districts to be and why District H will need boundary adjustments to come into compliance.

En boletines recientes, se anunció que la reunión comunitaria del Distrito H se llevaría a cabo el jueves 7 de abril. El equipo del Distrito H acaba de enterarse que se ha cambiado la fecha. La reunión comunitaria del Distrito H ahora se llevará a cabo el lunes 25 de abril, en persona en el Centro Comunitario del Parque Moody (3725 Fulton, Houston 77009) y también virtualmente en Microsoft Teams.

Los objetivos de las Reuniones comunitarias de la Ciudad son para recibir participación del público sobre la redistribución de distritos y compartir información sobre Proyectos de Mejoras de Capital.

Los detalles sobre el proceso de redistribución de distritos se pueden encontrar en el sitio web del Departamento de Planificación y Desarrollo y en esta presentación del comité. Consulte la página 9 de la presentación para ver cómo el Censo de 2020 determinó las poblaciones actuales de todos los Distritos del Consejo de la ciudad; y por qué el Distrito H necesitará ajustes de límites para cumplir los requisitos.
