      Sheila Jackson Lee running for Mayor

      I wouldn't think being the mayor of the 4th largest city in the US would be a step down from congresswoman -- especially when she is in the minority party in the House.

      METRORapid Inner Katy Corridor

      There are bus lanes in the middle of 610 that were recently built without HOV lanes. There doesn't need to be HOV lanes to build elevated lanes in the middle. In all fairness, whoever is using it to go to the Heights (north of i10) will still have to cross the highway with the current design, at least if it was in the middle it would be split between those traveling north and south of i10.

      William P. Hobby Airport

      https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2023/03/29/southwest-airlines-hobby-airport-expansion-plans.html?cx_testId=40&cx_testVariant=cx_27&cx_artPos=1#cxrecs_s "Dallas-based Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE: LUV) is working on the planning and design phase for its $250 million expansion at William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) following a memorandum of agreement that was approved by Houston City Council a year ago. Jonathan Massey, principal aviation sector leader for Dallas-based Corgan, provided updates on the project during the city’s March 29 economic development committee meeting. Corgan is the architectural firm providing services to Southwest, and Massey said the expansion will affect three areas of the facility: the west concourse, the baggage claim area and the behind-the-scenes baggage system. The first part of the project will be expanding the west concourse, which Southwest opened in 2015. Currently, Southwest serves five international-capable gates, meaning they can be used for domestic or international arrivals. With the expansion, seven gates will be added to the existing facility. Of those seven, two will be international-capable gates. Massey said this expansion will allow the airport to have more opportunities to provide travelers with amenities, such as concessions, before their flights. With the building of the seven additional gates, Massey said there is also an opportunity to add two more gates at the end of the building in the future. However, the potential future gates would only come to fruition if there's enough demand."

      Generation Park: Mixed-Use In Northeast Harris County

      https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2023/03/29/mccord-development-next-phase-generation-park.html Some bits from this piece about the new Senior Director of Development for McCord... -San Jacinto / NIBRT Biotech Training Facility still on the table. Wanting to start later this year and have it finished by the end of 2024. -Biotech in general is still a big focus. Wanting to create a 45-acre campus called BioHub Two with warehouses starting at 75kSF and going up from there. The existing BioHub One (another McCord project) is in the Boston area. -Redemption Square was discussed. Wanting to add 300kSF of retail and another 250-unit apartment building to complement the existing one. Also discussed was the possible addition of 100kSF of flex/industrial space and 8600kSF for events space and bar. No timeline for any of this.
