brerrabbit Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 It would no doubt be benificial to all the medical folks living in Pearland and working in the Medical Center. My one question is will it happen anytime in the near future given the fact that we in Brazoria County don't pay the 1% Metro tax? I for one use the Metro system from time to time but since I do the vast majority of my shopping in Brazoria County I don't pay the tax. I wonder if this will influence the Metro board as to where and when they expand certain systems? We still pay the full8.25% tax rate that everyone else pays its just that our money goes other places than metro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the corridor might be used in the future for mass transit, there are no guarantees as to when a system might be developed. It could be 15 or 20 years before you see anything more concrete.
