Arcola Council Stops McKeever Diversion & Possible Airport Expansion (Good news for homeowners in Sienna and surrounding communities of Mo-City)

From FBN: Arcola Council Blocks Post Oak Extension, Southwest Airport Expansion
by Bob Dunn,

The City of Arcola has apparently shut down the latest in what has been a series of plans to extend South Post Oak Boulevard from McKeever Road to State Highway 6.

In blocking the latest version of the South Post Oak extension plan – unveiled July 17 at a meeting attended by city and Fort Bend County officials – Arcola also is effectively preventing Houston Southwest Airport owner Jaime Griffith from executing his preferred plan for expanding that facility.

City and County officials have clashed repeatedly during what has become a seven-year effort by Arcola residents to prevent the airport expansion. . . (click title link for more)


MCC/CRD Comment: This is good news and much is owed to Tom Hilton, city council member, Tom Tuffly, mayor, James Devoge, city council and many others that have worked to contain this potential airport expansion which repeatedly is supported by the GFBEDC, county commissioners.
