Post Oak Road Proposal Pits Arcola Officials Against Airport Owner - Again

An on-again, off-again controversy between a group of Arcola residents and Houston Southwest Airport’s owner has heated up again, fueled by plans to build a new road through the airport, and to provide water and sewer access along that road before some city residents receive such service.

Plans calling for the City of Arcola to extend water and sewer lines outside city limits, in a loop along the as-yet-unbuilt road through the airport, surfaced a few days ago at an Arcola City Council meeting. They were brought up by the city’s engineer, Dave Scholler, of Brown & Gay Engineers Inc. of Houston, according to people present at the meeting.

Arcola Mayor Tom Tuffly said he isn’t sure why those plans came up, but “we want to find out where they got the idea of running that loop. Jamie Griffith’s property is not in the city limits. Running it into an unincorporated area isn’t going to help us at all.” Griffith did not return a phone call seeking comment. . .


Comment: This EDC backed airport expansion project won't go away.
