NOTICE: “Green Light to Expand Southwest Houston Regional Airport in Arcola?”
“Green Light to Expand Southwest Houston Regional Airport in Arcola?”
CRD has received word from a very reliable source that Arcola and Fort Bend County along with several EDC (Economic Development Council) members have the “green light” to move forward with the extension of the SHRA runways in order to allow jet service. This directly contradicts reports provided earlier in the year by other local media outlets that this project had been halted.
Apparently Jaime Griffith (owner SHRA), Alvin Gibson (mayor of Arcola), Herb Appel (EDC county director) and Bob Hebert (FB Chief County Judge) have worked out a deal between the county and the city of Arcola to move parts of McKeever road in order to comply with FAA regulations so that the runways can be extended for use by jets.
This information runs counter to local media reports earlier in the year that claimed this project was off the table for now. What will this expansion mean to area homeowners? Tom Hilton, who lead hundreds in this contentious fight against airport expansion said, “our property values and quality of life will be adversely impacted”. Mr. Hilton is an Arcola resident and former Arcola city council candidate who has been critical of Bob Hebert during the recent MUD/ECO scandal and on the airport expansion issue.
Neighborhoods like Sienna Plantation, New Pointe Estates, Waterbrook, Silver Ridge, West Pointe, McKeever Rd. Homeowners, and Oakwick Forest are in the immediate impact area for sound pollution coming from the jets. With over 13,000 residents impacted across this area of Fort Bend County how will they respond to such a negative land use issue?
Contact your local city council members, county commissioners for more information and to record your no vote on this expansion. If they ignore your pleas then remember alternative candidates are running in some of the local and county elections. You can make your voice heard!

You all need to contact the media about this not the politicos.
This is just great news along with the apartments, the trains, we can listen to the lovely sound of roaring jets coming in for a landing.

Here's one for John:
A dog ran into a butcher shop and grabbed a roast off the counter. Fortunately, the butcher recognized the dog as belonging to a neighbor of his. The neighbor happened to be a lawyer.
Incensed at the theft, the butcher called up his neighbor and said, "Hey, if your dog stole a roast from my butcher shop, would you be liable for the cost of the meat?" The lawyer replied, "Of course, how much was the roast?" "$7.98."
A few days later the butcher received a check in the mail for $7.98. Attached to it was an invoice that read: Legal Consultation Service: $150 .
Maybe if we follow Owen and other EDC members advice we can ignore the jets and pretend they don't exist and they won't hurt our property values? Isn't perception wonderful!

I found this in another thread and it directly relates to this thread:
"This was in the FB Star a few years ago (Bev's burner). Obviously, we hope, that Bev didn't realize that her friends out in Sienna, the developer, had our neighborhood on the fly way and that corporate jets would make our quality of life, as well as our property values (the thousands of homes here now) tank and that would hurt the MoCity economy too."
____
"...Okay, the airport .... I believe that Fort Bend County should buy the Arcola airport for several reasons which I will discuss although not necessarily in order of importance.
It's not going to cost the county any money. It will be paid for by funds from the federal government and while WE are the federal government, that money has already been taxed and collected and if Fort Bend County doesn't get it, then Dallas, or Memphis, or a myriad other cities or counties will.
The disparity between what the airport is valued on the tax rolls and what it will be sold for is due to the fact that the airport has a special use public exemption. It is not unlike the exemption that county clubs get for their golf courses or farmers for their four cows and a bull.
The homes in the area were built AFTER the establishment of an airport. The buy out of the few homes which will have to be moved will be generous and with relocation fees, most likely more than the homeowners can get with any kind of operating airport in the area.
The economic impact on Arcola, which needs it, will be wonderful for that improvised area, which currently has little tax base.
It will not affect the business at the Sugar Land Airport because the Arcola airport will draw from Hobby and places easily accessible to that part of town. The new toll road will make it doubly feasible to several parts of town that wouldn't come to Sugar Land anyway.
As more people and companies buy small planes to avoid the hassle at the larger airports, more commuter airports are needed. If Rosenberg wants an airport, they should start now getting their ducks in a row.
The owner of the Arcola airport is a second generation operator who has that airport in great shape for the a buyout. Rosenberg can do the same and by that time, we'll probably need another airport there.
As far as Sugar Land, I'm reminded of what I told my good friend Stafford Mayor Leonard Scarcella many years ago when he was muttering about the Economic Development Council locating businesses in places other than Stafford. "Leonard," I said, "You can't have it all." He looked at me with a shocked expression on his face (as if he had never thought about that before) and sheepishly replied, "I can try."
Fort Bend County has granted many dollars in tax abatements to help Sugar Land whose residents also pay Fort Bend County taxes. In other words, we're all in this together and a new county airport will be a great boon.

I find it hard to believe that Carter could ever be so unsympathetic to so many homeowners around that airport, many who read her paper. Was she really a school teacher?
Here's a good one:
Ounces of brain for sale
A man went to a brain store to get some brain to complete a study. He sees a sign remarking on the quality of professional brain offerred at this particular brain store. He begins to question the butcher about the cost of these brains.
"How much does it cost for engineer brain?"
"Three dollars an ounce."
"How much does it cost for programmer brain?"
"Four dollars an ounce."
"How much for lawyer brain?"
"$1,000 an ounce."
"Why is lawyer brain so much more?"
"Do you know how many lawyers we had to kill to get one ounce of brain?"
From the article it looks like the standard operating procedures for EDC endorsed candidates is to marginalize "non-group-think republicans" and scape goat often!

Don't usually quote anything from the industry supported think tank ULI (urban land institute) but found this article interesting on how much value is added to retail and residential properties through additional landscaping:
"Midland's Entrances Improved
Midland Daily News
September 6, 2005
Kathie Marchlewski
It's taken a lot of plotting, planning and design work, but a drive into Midland today is dramatically different than it was a short time ago.
The changes are even more pronounced with a new ribbon of paving and ongoing planting along the U.S. 10 business route, where a biking and treading trail now meanders through what once was a blank median. Deemed the 'Grand Curve Parkway,' the path -- not far from connecting to trails at Chippewa Nature Center and the Pere Marquette Rail-Trail -- will be ready for strolls and rides in mid-October. The parkway is a project of the Midland Area Community Foundation's Entranceway Initiatives Task Force, which was put into motion more than five years ago in an effort to create more recognizable doorways to the city with foundation dollars and donations. 'The main idea is simple -- we have a community that had relatively nondescript entrances,' said Denise Spencer, president and CEO of the foundation. 'The people didn't feel a sense of arrival when they arrived.' The Task Force has been focusing on the Eastman Avenue area, the U.S. 10 route and the M-20 entryway. Timing has been everything.
The first fruits of labor appeared recently with improvements in the Eastman Avenue area, with the overpass, bronze medallions and roadside landscaping, along with plantings at the Midland County Fairgrounds entrance. The parkway followed, a logical solution to the ripped-up soil following the city's recent sewer construction project. 'It has been a long process. It just seems like a lot of things have come together over the last year or two years,' Spencer said. 'We're excited about the things we're doing, but there's a lot more to do.' Besides sprucing up city entries, the goal of the task force is to create an atmosphere in Midland that promotes the inclusion of aesthetically pleasing design and landscape everywhere. 'It's a human instinct to want to create beauty,' said committee member Junia Doan. 'It's more inviting; we are drawn to things that are beautiful.' The task force is hoping to create a long chain of beauty that will benefit the entire community.
Along with inviting people into Midland, the committee also is hoping to invite businesses to spruce up their own exteriors and yards. 'We hope this is the start -- when we get this done, we're going to have businesses start doing it on their own. That's the goal.' said John Bartos, who also is on the team. The idea -- that 'Money Does Grow on Trees' -- is the title of a pamphlet created by the MACF and available now at its office. It explains that by creating a a welcoming space, more customers and clients will be drawn in.
According to the Urban Land Institute, trees and landscaping also add 15 percent to sales and rental premiums and contribute to employee productivity. As Midland's communitywide effort becomes more visible, attention to aesthetics is something the committee hopes will come naturally to residential and commercial builders and building owners. They also are developing a Community Preference Book for distribution to developers considering building and locating in Midland. 'I think we need to make more of an effort to talk to them before plans are filed,' Doan said.
The tactic already has been successful when working with the Michigan Department of Transportation, which helped kick off beautification efforts at the Eastman Avenue area overpass. Once city planners suggested the building of a better-looking bridge, the two worked together on the striated version seen today. They added concrete circles on the sides, which Midlanders -- namely the Entranceway Initiatives Task Force -- filled in with bronze medallions introducing Midland as the City of Modern Explorers. MDOT also is expected to play a part in beautifying the Karl B.
Robertson Bridge at M-20, where renovation is planned in the future. With cooperation, the EITF hopes for an end result as visually pleasing as the Eastman overpass. Before that, the task force is hoping the state department will help in completing the Grand Curve Parkway, when it complete roadwork on the business route east of Washington in the near future.
Preliminary approval is in place. 'I think it's wonderful that MDOT has gotten excited about this,' said Ted Doan, who, along with Bartos and Dow Gardens Director Doug Chapman, worked on portions of the design of the portion of the parkway in place. Up next on the EITF list is a series of wayfinding signage that will direct visitors and residents to Midland's attractions -- the Center for the Arts, nature center and others. 'Wherever you want to go, you'll be able to find,' Doan said. Along with joining in beautification efforts, those in support of the projects also can make donations to the Midland Area Community Foundation. Call (989) 839-9661 for more information. 'They take a lot of water,' Leo Myers, of Servinski Sod, said on Friday after putting more than 50 gallons of water into the base of a freshly planted spruce tree along a new trail being constructed between Patrick and East Lyon roads.
Focus Midland's three main entranceways U.S. 10 entrance What's happened and what's happening Perhaps the most dramatic of the improvements, the business route boulevard has been slowly taking shape since the city began a sewer installation project there last year. The Entranceways Initiative Task Force saw that as an opportunity -- the area was already in need of mending after construction dug deep trenches and turned up soil. Today the trenches have been transformed and a ribbon of asphalt will be ready for treading and biking in October.
Berms and curves offer a delightful path and trees and other plantings are being installed to create a final product called 'Grand Curve Parkway.' Eastman Avenue entrance What's happened and what's happening The Michigan Department of Transportation helped kick off this project when it began construction on the overpass here. By working with city leaders and local foundations, the department agreed to make it a little nicer looking than most. Along with the striped design, there were cement circles created on each side. Last August, bronze medallions introducing Midland as a City of Modern Explorers were installed in those spaces.
Uplighting for the decor is on its way. The Midland County Fairgrounds also added to the aesthetics of the area when officials expressed an interest in updated and more intense landscaping. More landscaping along the highway's entry also has been installed, including at the once-plain nearby Park 'n Ride lot.
M-20 entrance What's happened and what's happening As the Michigan Department of Transportation plans renovations to the Karl B. Robertson Bridge (known as the M-20 Bridge), the Entranceways Initiative Task Force is dreaming up plans to make that entrance as beautiful as theothers to which they've been attending. Plans are in the works and the schedule uncertain."

"According to the Urban Land Institute, trees and landscaping also add 15 percent to sales and rental premiums and contribute to employee productivity."
It's nice to see such data supporting the establishment of green areas in commercial areas by this pro-developer group.

"In their September 9th city council meeting, four members of the Arcola Council voted not to ask the commissioners court to purchase the Houston Southwest Airport, for the second time. It could be that those members thought that Jamie Griffith would make a better neighbor than the commissioners. They didn’t give any other reason that I heard. (Jamie you’ll remember, owns the airport, and recently gave 125 local children their first airplane ride, free!)
What I did hear, was 13 citizens from Fresno and one from Sugar Land voicing their opposition, for every reason you could think of, and almost every one was valid. Not one citizen from Arcola complained!
It seemed that the number of vocal citizens did influence the outcome of the vote. I’ve seen it happen many times, when I was on city council. People voicing their opinion, is impressive, if you haven’t done your homework and it’s sometimes difficult to stay focused on what is best for your town.
Back in June the county judge was quoted, in this very paper, as saying that, "The county was not interested in getting into the aviation business only trying to benefit the city of Arcola." Maybe the county has a plan "B" (as in benefit) somewhere, that will be wonderful and forthcoming. Fortunately, for Mayor Roy Jackson, he won’t have to deal with the county messing around in his town, since they won’t be owning a large business in Arcola. That would have been troubling to me if I was on city council there.
It’s a done deal. This county administration is not going to buy Houston Southwest Airport even with free money (FAA user fees and a tub full of cash from the present owner) and probably never did plan to. They will confirm this next Tuesday at the commissioner’s court meeting. If they prove me wrong, on any count, I’ll be delighted.
How about all the time that has been wasted while the county appeared to play with the idea of "maybe we will, maybe we won’t." MayorDave of Sugar Land alone spent a great deal of time and paper on those 26 questions he demanded the county answer regarding the airport. And all those honestly, concerned citizens who appeared at Arcola meetings and county meetings, as well, wasn’t their time worth something? I think it was!
I’m not sure that the county negotiated in "good faith" on this one."

"I've been watching the news on TV, of late, concerning the good guys and the not so good guys in Iraq, making note of who's ahead and who's behind, etc. I decided that if you compare Iraq with the East end of Fort Bend County you might come to the same conclusion that I have. I believe the city of Arcola could use a regime change.
I'm not talking, necessarily, about the titular head, Ace of Spades, Mayor Roy Jackson, or his wife Queen Cool of Hearts, but certainly a couple of those other Queens, and for sure, the One Eyed Jacks, should be looked at for their strange attitude. And don't stop there. That city has a "Joker, that's Wild," over there, wild as I've ever seen! I don't believe that Iraq even had a Joker, but Jokers need to be considered if you're going to play with a full deck, especially if they're wild, otherwise it changes the equation.
That "Joker" sent me a letter a few months ago, brought it to my office. Even thought my editor might print it but it was ancient history and of questionable veracity and as you know the Star likes to print true news.
In his letter he said that he surmised my interest in the current goings on in Arcola (that was when there was talk of the county buying the Houston Southwest Airport) was because he knew "that my husband was involved in the Republican politics of Fort Bend County a few years back." If he knew anything at all about Republican politics in Fort Bend County, he would have known that my late husband was the first Republican elected here to a county office, in the 20th century, actually in over a hundred years. He was elected the same day that Tom DeLay was elected to the Texas House.
The Joker further enlightened me that "the airport issue was forced on the citizens of Arcola by the Fort Bend Economic Council (Bob Brown, Herb Appel, and the other members of the Good-ol-Boy Republican Guard in this county, including the present owner of the Houston Southwest Airport)."
If that boy intends to do war in Fort Bend County, he'd do well to have Herb Appel, Bob Brown and Jamie Griffith on his side, and me also, perhaps. (I was included, too). He said that the "Fort Bend Economic Council and its ilk," (that's where I came in - I'm a ilk) "have piled manure on Arcola for the last few years."
I'm pretty sure that "Joker" is already stressed out, and while the Council is fuming and fussing over there about the mayor hiring temporary, part time help who did not live in Arcola, they miss the point that the mayor made the best choice he could have made for the job, and got more than Arcola's money's worth for the 40 hours involved.
Some of those Jacks and Queens may feel a little uneasy about now, because those regime changes don't seem to give much quarter but they're necessary from time to time to keep government headed in the right direction.
So let's don't send any military or jets or anything over to Arcola just yet, because I think they're just naturally going to self-destruct with that attitude, and they still do have a smart, hard working, dedicated mayor."
--I guess Ms. Eguia only the EDC supported politicians get to decide who is a "joker" or not. The average citizens can't possibly tell the local EDC backed political regime anything.
Some of you may appreciate the "Who's Who" list being posted here of the Fort Bend Co. EDC (supported by our tax dollars). These are the directors list of the EDC. Does this qualify them as public officials because tax dollars (and so many public grant dollars) travel through this organization?

I heard from someone who had discussed this with the airport director who said the McKeever adjustments has nothing to do with the claimed airport expansion.

We received a report today that the commissioners court is meeting in closed session to discuss "McKeever Rd. Expansion" which according to our sources has more to do with FAA compliance for SW Regional Airport in Arcola proposed runway extension for jet traffic which would prove a detriment to the 10-15K residents/homeowners and voters of the area. --See earlier thread on this for contact information.
