A Celebration of Progress and Unity: Commissioner Lesley Briones to Unveil the All in 4 Katy East Community Plan
Mark your calendars for a significant community event that will shape the future of Katy East. On September 14, 2024, Commissioner Lesley Briones of Harris County Precinct 4, your precinct, will bring forth recommendations for the ambitious initiative "All in 4 Katy East: A Precinct 4 Community Plan" at the Steve Radack Community Center. This is not just an unveiling, it's a celebration of community spirit, filled with family-friendly activities.
Between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM, attendees are invited to participate in an array of activities. Enjoy delicacies from food trucks, marvel at fascinating Bollywood dance performances, let kids express their creativity through crafts, and even enjoy the simple charm of lawn games. The day promises to be as engaging and vibrant as the community plan itself, with something for everyone to enjoy.
The plan, which began in the Fall of 2023, is the result of a nine-month comprehensive process aimed at setting a shared vision that improves the quality of life for all residents in Katy East. The Precinct 4 Planning department has tirelessly examined the community's current land use, mobility, infrastructure, and economic development challenges and opportunities.
But "All in 4 Katy East: A Precinct 4 Community Plan" is not just a strategy devised by city planners. At its core, it is a grassroots initiative, driven by robust public engagement. It reflects the collective aspirations of the residents, seeking to enhance not just infrastructure and sustainability, but also justice, safety, education, and economic opportunities.

This was followed by the Community Assessment, which examined the existing conditions. The insights from this assessment informed the subsequent phase of recommendations, where potential operational changes, capital projects, partnerships, or ordinance changes were proposed. The last phase, Report Production, will culminate in a final document that consolidates all findings and recommendations.
Head over to the Steve Radack Community Center at 18650 Clay Rd., Houston, TX 77084, to be a part of this historic community event. It’s a chance to come together as a community and celebrate the future of Katy East.
