Tomball sets open forums to lay groundwork for comprehensive plan

With nearly a week’s worth of meetings and presentations in early May, the City of Tomball is making significant strides in its comprehensive plan.

Between May 5 and 7, the city will host an “Urban Design Studio,” from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Tomball Community Center. According to the city, the meetings will provide an opportunity for the public to meet with city planners and discuss design concepts that “create the framework for future growth and development.”

In addition to the “Urban Design Studio,” May 5 will feature a “Futures Forum,” scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m. at Tomball High School to discuss strategic planning opportunities for the community and provides and chance for local residents to hear from a keynote speaker “about the value a Comprehensive Plan brings to a rapidly growing community.”

Part of the city’s Comprehensive Plan includes a revamped downtown area, with improved mobility, walk ways and signage, as well as green space and entertainment options.

On May 6 from 6 to 9 p.m., the city will host a community “Town Hall Event” at Tomball High School. According to the city, “citizens will be given the opportunity to be a ‘planner for the evening’ by creating land use and transportation alternatives to be considered for the Comprehensive Plan.”

On May 7, a “Results Presentation” will wrap up the week’s activities with an open discussion of the comments and ideas presented during the week.
