Background and Discussion:

Sale of a 10' to 30' wide aerial easement to CenterPoint will allow for maintenance of distribution facilities across a portion of Spring Creek. Sale of electric easement will allow CenterPoint Energy to place powerlines within Harris County and Harris County Flood Control District right of way.

 

Expected Impact:

This proposal would allow for the residential development of a master planned community of Breckenridge Forest which would add significantly to the Harris County tax base. 

 

Alternative Options:

Alternative routes will have greater impact on existing public infrastructure.

 

County Strategic Plan Goal:  2. Connect our community with safe, reliable, equitably distributed, and well-maintained infrastructure.

County Strategic Plan Objective: H: Improve the condition and resilience of County transportation, flood control, and other infrastructure.
