Montgomery County and area residents will benefit as local entities and businesses receive millions through grants and contracts from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Texas Department of Transportation received the largest allotment of funds, with the Brazos Transit District receiving the second largest allotment of $1.67 million. The money awarded to the BTD will be used to construct a marina for The Woodlands water taxis along The Woodlands Waterway, as well as create a maintenance facility for its buses. This is in addition to $2.3 million awarded to expand the Sterling Ridge Park and Ride from 200 spaces to 1,000 – a project on the top of the BTD’s list.
“Montgomery County got a sizeable amount of the ARRA money. It’s because of the rapid growth and the need,” John McBeth, president of the BTD said. The Sterling Ridge Park and Ride “should address today’s demand and future need until 2020,” McBeth said. With an outlook on stabilizing the economy now and looking towards the future in hope, the ARRA awarded over $18 million to area entities and businesses, with the plans of improving life for area residents.

Graystone Hills residents should be wary when driving through Conroe I.S.D.'s and other schools' school zones, as a new state law will prohibit the use of wireless communication devices while operating a vehicle in a school zone. Violators must pay a fine of up to $200 per violation.
House Bill 55 is set to take effect on September 1, and is intended to promote the safety of students. The law will be in full affect in all of Texas.
A few facts about the law:
- Provisions under the law will allow drivers to use cell phones in school zones with a hands-free device or when their vehicle is stopped.
- School bus drivers will be affected, too.
- The law is an amendment of the Texas Transportation Code, section545.425.
- An additional exception is provided in emergency situations, when a driver needs to use a cell phone in a school zone to contact police, fire, or emergency medical personnel.
We beg Graystone Hills residents to heed this new law, as it is designed with the safety of you and your children in mind!
