City Spotlight: The City of Webster is “Linked to the Future”
The City of Webster is conveniently located midway between Houston and Galveston along Interstate 45, and close to Clear Lake. The city is bordered by Houston on the north, League City on the south, Friendswood on the west and Nassau Bay on the east.
Webster was founded in 1879 by James Webster and called Gardentown when a colony of English immigrants originally populated the area. When the interurban rail stop between Galveston and Houston was established, the farming industry grew in Gardentown. In the early 1900’s a small community of Japanese immigrants established rice farming as the key crop for the region. Soon fruit, dairy and livestock ranches were prevalent in the area. In the 1930’s, petroleum was discovered at the Webster-Friendswood Oilfield.
Webster was considered a village until it was incorporated in 1958 just before NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) announced it would build the Manned Space Center (later renamed the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center) there. The cattle fields soon became home to many aerospace companies and employees of NASA. The city has grown along with NASA and the diverse space programs supported there. Webster now serves as the Gateway to the Johnson Space Center and the entire Galveston Bay Area. The City’s current motto, “Linked to the Future”, illustrates the pride Webster has of its history with the aerospace industry.
Webster has also earned the title of “Medical Center of the South” since the Clear Lake Regional Medical Center was built there in 1972. Medical facilities continue to build in Webster, such as: Texas Children’s Health Center of Clear Lake, Texas Oncology-Deke Slayton Cancer Center, Houston Physicians’ Hospital, and Kindred Hospital-Clear Lake.
The 2000 census reported the population of Webster at close to 10,000 citizens. There are established single-family homes, a variety of condominium and apartment options, and a master-planned waterfront community to attract potential residents. Webster is also home to a variety of popular restaurants, shopping, hotels and entertainment. Attractions such as: Space Center Houston, Baybrook Mall, Main Event, Cinemark 18 and Star Cinema Grill offer family fun and relaxation.
Webster has blossomed since its early days as “Gardentown”, and the face of the city has evolved due to the arrival of the aerospace industry. Come to Webster to see how well it will fit your lifestyle and become your home base.

City Spotlight: Texas City – A City of Industry, and So Much More
Texas City is located on the southwestern shore of Galveston Bay seven miles from Galveston, and eleven miles from the Gulf of Mexico in Galveston County. The city is bordered on the north by Moses Lake, which is fed by Moses Bayou, a freshwater stream; the lake drains into Galveston Bay, which borders the city on the east.
The Shoal Point Lighthouse was located at Half Moon Shoal, two miles out in Galveston Bay. A historical marker which commemorates the early community is located at Bay Street Park. In 1911, an election was held to incorporate the settlement formerly known as Shoal Point. After W. P. Tarpey was elected the first Mayor, Shoal Point officially became the City of Texas City.
Texas City is a vibrant city with an estimated population around 50,000. It is impossible to talk about Texas City without talking about the Texas Oil industry in which Texas City has carved out a solid and integral niche as a refinery town. Texas City is a busy deep water port as well as a petroleum refining and petrochemical manufacturing center. The Port of Texas City, operated by the Port of Texas City/Texas City Terminal Railway, is the eighth largest port in the United States and the third largest in Texas. The Texas City Terminal Railway Company provides an important land link to the port, handling over 25,000 car loads per year.
Because of its ample room to grow, Texas City and the north side of Galveston Bay as a whole, has an abundance of housing options. The community of Grand Cay Harbour is located on a pristine stretch of Galveston Bay shoreline; while Pearlbrook and Rain Song also showcase the housing market in the city.
The Street of Memories, in the old downtown district, has been rejuvenated through economic development and local business owners. Many buildings have taken on an authentic look of yesterday when 6th Street thrived as the heart of the community. The Bayou Golf Club is a public recreation facility; along with an 18-hole championship golf course on 200 acres, facilities include a practice driving range, practice putting green, practice chipping green, pro shop and snack bar and grill. The city operates numerous parks, some of which are a part of the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail. The Texas City Prairie Preserve is a 2,300-acre nature preserve located on the shores of Moses Lake opposite the city. The terrain of the preserve includes prairie and wetland habitats. The preserve includes 40 acres of public access areas which include campsites. The Texas City Dike, the world's longest man-made (5 miles) fishing pier, is part of Texas City's flood control system and a haven for local fisherman, boaters, and water enthusiasts.
Shopping in the area boomed when the Tanger Outlet Mall opened with over 80 designer outlets located on Interstate 45, off Holland Road. Next door to the mall is the 60,000 sq.ft. Buc-ee’s Family Travel Center, which will be completed in 2014. The largest Buc-ee’s to date will have about 56 gas pumps and is expected to bring in about 5,000 customers a day.
Texas City is a city of industry, wetland habitats, shopping, a revived downtown community, and so much more; take a look for yourself!

Road Projects Update from League City’s City Manager
Mark Rohr, City Manager for the City of League City, recently reported on current and upcoming road projects.
FM 2094 Paving Repair Project: Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) began work on the FM 2094 (Marina Bay Drive) Paving Repair Project on June 9, 2014. Work is estimated to last 45 days. The contractor is proposing to modify the construction traffic control plan by detouring all of the eastbound traffic to the northern side of the divided roadway and making the westbound lanes two-way traffic, within the limits of the repairs. TxDOT has requested that a representative from League City be present during the exploratory excavation of the roadway subsurface to evaluate if any of the subsurface problems involve City facilities.
Update on the Calder Road Waterline Construction: Crews are continuing to work on Calder Road waterline construction and the Gulf Coast Water Authority’s contractor expects to have the road open to the public again by the end of June, weather permitting. Phase 1 of the project extends from IH-45 to the Calder Road Water Plant. The second phase of lining is currently in progress and will extend from the water plant to Ervin Street. This phase began Wednesday, April 30 and required Calder Road to be converted to one-way, northbound only, from Ervin St. to League City Pkwy. The City has made a concerted effort to communicate with the contractor and reduce delays to the motorists and to keep the construction site clean and move barricades when possible. The street department is working to address a number of potholes on this roadway section.

League City Waterline Shutdown Planned - June 17 & June 24
“State Highway 3 -42” Waterline Shutdown/Water Restrictions: The on-going construction of the City’s largest water distribution facility, located at 18530 State Highway 3 in Webster, will require two major shutdowns of the 42” water line delivering approximately 80 percent of the City’s surface water supply. This construction-related activity is necessary for the installation of multiple isolation valves needed for construction to continue.
The shutdowns are scheduled to occur on Tuesday, June 17 and Tuesday, June 24 and are expected to last 10-16 hours each. Both dates are subject to change, based on weather or unforeseen circumstances.
In an effort to ensure regulatory compliant water service during each event, the City may enact the Stage 3 Emergency Water Shortage Conditions of the Drought Contingency Plan, beginning the day of each planned event lasting through the duration of work activity, until system operations are fully restored.”

Update on Gulf Freeway South Widening Project in the Bay Area
Texas Department of Transportation’s, (TxDOT), widening of Interstate 45 from Dixie Farm Road to Medical Center Boulevard is a huge project for the state, region, and community, as this project results in enhanced mobility for the 250,000 vehicles daily that traverse this important artery.

A cheap place to live with a high crime rate or low income levels isn't an ideal place to call home. So we've looked into every city with a population of 75,000 or more, examining unemployment rates, household income, housing costs, utility bills and crime rates to help you find the all-around best place in Texas to get the biggest bang for your buck.
These top 10 cities had the best combination of all the factors listed above as compared to national or state data. Here's what we compared these cities to:
- U.S. unemployment rate: 7 percent
- U.S. median household income: $53,056
- Average house listing price in Texas: $311,856
- Average Texas electric rate: 10.5 kWh
- U.S. crime rate 301.1 (The higher the number, the more crime)”
- Unemployment rate: 5.6%
- Median household income: $88,289
- Average house listing price: $296,474
- Average electric rate: 10.6¢ per kWh
- Crime rate: 186.2

Clear Creek ISD Announces Name for New Stadium
“League City, Texas - The Clear Creek Independent School District is home to a community unified by the spirit of exploration, so when it was time to determine the name of the District’s second stadium, the Board of Trustees voted for Challenger Columbia Stadium in honor of the space shuttle program legacy and the astronauts who perished aboard both flights. “NASA is honored that our community recognizes the tremendous commitment that accompanies human spaceflight. We are proud that the stadium name will serve as a lasting memorial of our teamwork and dedication”, said JSC Center Director, Dr. Ellen Ochoa.
The name was one of three recommendations brought forward to the Board of Trustees by a CCISD Naming Committee. “The history and the future of NASA are important to all of us, especially our students,” said Dr. Greg Smith, Superintendent of Schools. “Whether it is graduation, a robotics competition, a fine arts or athletic achievement, our students will be reminded to always be bold in their aspirations and reach for the stars.”
When making the recommendation, the CCISD Naming Committee said Challenger Columbia Stadium was strongly reflected in community suggestions. The name also honors two major historical events that impacted CCISD and the community. It also signifies the deep history of the space program within CCISD boundaries. The stadium will be constructed near Challenger Seven Park.
The District broke ground on Challenger Columbia Stadium on Wednesday, March 26 at 5:30 p.m. at the stadium site, which is located near 2145 West NASA Boulevard. Clear Creek ISD’s Challenger Columbia Stadium is scheduled to open in August 2015. It is funded through the 2013 CCISD Bond. View Challenger Columbia Stadium video here.
