Recognizing the NHD Board of Directors
The North Houston District Board of Directors is composed of 13 dedicated volunteers and boasts a total of 189 years of collective service. This year, they approved 36 agenda items, greenlighting impactful efforts aligning with NHD’s mission.
We are especially pleased to honor two members for their significant service milestones: George Lunnon for 25 years and Karen Marshall for 20 years. Their continued dedication and wealth of experience are invaluable assets to the District, and we are grateful to have them as integral members of the Board.
Public Safety Initiatives and Achievements
North Houston District helps to keep the area safe for businesses and residents by funding programs that complement local law enforcement efforts. These include collaborating with the Houston Police Department North Belt Division, a dedicated Harris County Sheriff’s Office task force, Houston Police Department Special Operations initiatives, an off-duty officer patrol program, and private security patrols.
In 2025, the District became the first management district in Houston to provide a fleet of eBikes for local law enforcement use. The annual March on Crime week efforts included knocking on an impressive 3,250 doors, making contact with 650 residents, and issuing 1,740 vehicle security report cards. Proactive crime prevention programs like this continue to make our community safer.
Field Services Team Keeps the District Clean & Green
Our Field Services programs encompass the essential and practical aspects of keeping the district clean and beautiful, such as graffiti abatement, illegal dumping removal, and street sweeping. By working closely with District contractors and partners, they actively monitor the area, swiftly addressing issues within their scope and reporting any problems to the appropriate city and county departments as needed.
A few impressive accomplishments in 2025 that put this behind-the-scenes work into perspective include removing a whopping 645,000 pounds of litter, removing 35,758 pounds of illegally dumped items, and painting 24,300 linear feet of curb. This extensive effort underscores the District’s commitment to a clean and beautiful environment for all.
Planning and Infrastructure Development in the District
In 2025, the District remained committed to fostering growth across the District by funding strategic plans and projects that enhance community revitalization, improve mobility and transportation, boost resiliency, and create a strong sense of place. Planning and infrastructure efforts were concentrated on flood mitigation, improving transportation and mobility, developing parks and trails, establishing gateways and wayfinding, and supporting public art and placemaking. Key milestones this past year included the completion of a $1 million renovation to Wussow Park and the successful acquisition of $455,000 from grants to support our initiatives.
