HOUSTON — A new toll road is transforming outlying prairie and woods into the land of opportunity.
“The Grand Parkway expansion is a game changer for Houston development,” said Woody Mann, President of Vista Equities Group. The Grand Parkway, a suburban roadway that will someday circle Houston, will increase mobility for business and residents fueling growth in North/Northwest Houston continued Mann, a developer who has been active in the Houston suburbs for many years.
A 15-mile section of the Grand Parkway opened at the end of the year to connect Interstate 10 and Highway 290 on the prairie west of Houston. In addition, a 37-mile extension of the Grand Parkway is under construction on the north side of the city and the road will run close to the new ExxonMobil campus where 10,000 people will be employed by the energy giant.
