Background and Discussion:

Since the original Lease Agreement dated July 13, 2010, High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) Program has acquired the 30,097 square feet of office space located at 15311 Vantage Parkway West Houston, Texas 77032 to accommodate the needs of the unit. The Third Amendment will extend the term of lease effective March 1, 2026, and will remain in full force and effort for forty-seven (47) consecutive months and expand the premises by adding an additional 1,160 square feet.

 

 

Expected Impact:

The High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) grant program seeks to enhance and coordinate efforts among local, state and federal law enforcement agencies in order to eliminate or reduce drug trafficking and its harmful consequences in critical regions of the United States. The additional space will allow for continued collaboration among participating agencies, support of investigative operations, and coordination of intelligence-sharing efforts necessary to disrupt and dismantle drug trafficking organizations in the region.
