Summary
SB2911 relates to the creation of the Northeast Houston Redevelopment District. This special district aims to promote the public welfare of the surrounding areas through various improvement and economic development projects. It has been designed to supplement, rather than replace, existing county services and aims to enhance employment, commerce, transportation, housing, and tourism in the district.
Contention
Notably, the bill prescribes that the district shall not impose an ad valorem tax or exercise the power of eminent domain.
