Authority in Regional Planning Matters / Community Standing

The Woodlands Township

With the exception of the Township’s public transit services, the Township has no standing in regional planning matters, local roadway transportation planning and other matters such as water and sewer rates, groundwater pumping, subsidence, flooding and stormwater management.

City of The Woodlands

The city would have standing in all of these matters, assuming the MUDs become part of city operations following incorporation. If the MUDs do not become part of city operations following incorporation, the city would still have standing in regional planning matters, local roadway transportation planning and other matters other than the water, sewer and related service provided by the MUDs.
