🚀 Lift Off News: Connecting Houston to the Projects That Shape It
We’re launching something big—and no, it’s not just concrete and cranes.
It’s Clarity. Connection. Conversation.
Lift Off News is the official newsletter of Engage Houston, and it’s here to pull back the curtain on the infrastructure projects that impact our daily lives—from the street corners we drive through to the pipelines we never see. With each edition, we’re putting power in the hands of the public—because informed communities are stronger communities.
What Is Lift Off News?
It’s more than a newsletter.
It’s a monthly mission briefing from the frontlines of Houston’s Capital Projects.
Inside every issue, residents will find:
Project spotlights with real timelines, goals, and visuals
Updates on construction that affects traffic, access, or utilities
Behind-the-scenes insights from the Public Engagement Team
Interactive features like maps, surveys, and community Q&As
Stories from Houstonians impacted—and inspired—by our work
Why It Matters
For too long, infrastructure happened to people.
Now, it happens with them.
Lift Off News bridges the gap between the work being done and the people it’s being done for. It helps residents understand not just what’s changing, but why—and how it benefits them and their neighborhood in the long run.
From drainage improvements to corridor reconstructions, our projects are rooted in resilience. But resilience starts with trust—and trust starts with information.
How the Public Engagement Team Is Leading the Charge
The Public Engagement Team is the heartbeat of this effort. With Lift Off News as our megaphone, we’re ensuring no Houstonian is left in the dark about:
What’s being built
When it’s happening
Who to contact
And how to get involved
We’ll use Lift Off News to amplify our outreach, keep neighborhoods in the know, and elevate public voices in every phase of the project lifecycle.
