Yesterday afternoon I toured The Woodlands and Conroe, TX, both located in Montgomery County. These communities are about 30 miles north of Houston and are growing at rapid rates.
Conroe is an old sawmilling and transportation hub with a wonderful downtown area that is being redone with brick sidewalks, building facelifts and other improvements. Lake Conroe, built in the early 70s, is a 22,000 acre recreational mecca that enhances the town’s ability to recruit in new professionals and industries.
Greater Conroe’s Economic Development Council purchased and developed a 470 acre industrial park just outside of town 5 years ago. It is already teaming with many new companies, both domestic and international.
The Woodlands was started about 30 years ago as a planned development on 16,000 acres by the oil mogul George Mitchell. They’ve developed about 70% of the land and already have a population of over 70,000.
