2011 Message from the Chairman of the Board

David W. Hightower

The future of Greater West Houston remains bright, one of only a handful of such areas across the nation.  Our population and employment growth continues, commercial activity is rebounding and residential growth is improving across the communities.  Against this backdrop, we must remain mindful of the breath of infrastructure demands this growth presents.  The West Houston Association continues to play a leadership role in helping shape and plan for the future of Greater West Houston.
