Committee Report (Unamended)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 111, interested parties note, encompasses an area of land within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Conroe. The parties suggest that land located within the district is being developed for single-family residential and commercial uses and needs road improvements to serve the area. H.B. 4125 seeks to address that need.
