Some City Leaders Speak Up Against Formation Of TIRZ #3

Griffin Concerned About Misuse of "Reinvestment Zones" In Prime Commercial Areas of Missouri City

Rodney Griffin issued this press release after the city council vote in favor of establishing TIRZ #3 in Missouri City near the ETJ (and the Fort Bend Toll Road):

"I'm very concerned about the direction this council continues to take with regards to its over-emphasis on development near the city limits out on highway 6", said Rodney. His concern stems from earlier Spring debates with council members over the neglect of Texas Parkway, Cartwright and the 1092 corridors. The more established communities have been asked to carry the tax burden for some of these large Houston development companies operating along the highway 6 prime commercial corridor.

Rodney, former district A city council candidate and local businessman, was vocal earlier this year on this decades long neglect under the current city administration.
