Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Waller County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Road funding and TxDOT delays
With TxDOT projects like FM 529 and FM 362 widening pushed past 2030, the court authorized an updated road assessment and directed staff to study transportation reinvestment zones to fund roads with growth revenue instead of property taxes. Commissioners warned of a coming 'log jam' as the county adds population.
Mathis Road reconstruction
The county awarded a $4.8 million contract to rebuild Adams Flat Road, funded from road construction funds. Expect construction activity and, eventually, a smoother drive.
Bond program road construction under budget
A voter-approved bond road project came in at $8.7 million against a $9.4 million estimate — a good sign for taxpayers as bond projects begin delivering.
