Respondents addressed concerns about environmental assessments (confirming an Environmental Assessment rather than full Environmental Impact Statement due to minimal impacts), future gate automation operations still under development, and engineering certification requirements.

  • Letter of Support - City of Humble

    Houston, TX

Mayor Norman Funderburk emphasized that the city and regional partners have fulfilled their responsibilities and called on the state to follow through on its post-Harvey commitments to protect Humble's residents and businesses.
