Hey there, and welcome to Liftoff News, your inside scoop on the big changes shaping our city. Today, we’re taking you to the heart of northwest Houston to spotlight something major: the Inwood Forest Area Project. This isn’t just construction, it’s transformation. We’re talking about smarter infrastructure, safer streets, and a stronger future for the entire community. 

Let’s be honest—flooding has been a long-standing issue in Inwood Forest. But change is finally here. One of the biggest upgrades is to the storm drainage system. That means rainwater will move through the area faster and more efficiently, reducing the chance of street flooding and keeping your home safer during heavy storms. 

But it doesn’t stop there! Roads throughout the neighborhood are also getting a much-needed makeover. Picture fresh pavement, new curbs, and smoother rides, whether hopping on a METRO bus, cruising on your bike, or driving to work! 

And for our walkers, joggers, and parents pushing strollers, this one’s for you: New sidewalks and driveway improvements are coming your way. Getting around the neighborhood will be easier, safer, and more enjoyable for you and your family. 

Even beneath the surface, big things are happening. Water and sewer lines are being upgraded, bringing you more reliable service and fewer interruptions, because no one wants surprise water issues on a Monday morning. 

All of these improvements from the roads you travel on to the pipes you don’t see, are investments in a more resilient, connected, and forward-looking Inwood Forest. This is about more than fixing what’s broken. It’s about building a better future, together.
