Harris County Commissioners Court approved changes to a construction contract for renovating the Hockley Service Center on Old Washington Road in Precinct 4. The contract with FMG Construction Group adds 10 calendar days and $15,408.83 to complete the renovation project. This service center serves residents in northwest Harris County, including Hockley, Tomball, and surrounding unincorporated areas. The project shows strong community investment, with 97.69% participation from minority and women-owned business enterprises, far exceeding the 15% goal. This demonstrates our county's commitment to supporting local diverse businesses. County service centers provide essential services like vehicle registration, voting locations, and community meeting spaces. When these facilities get upgraded, residents receive better service and accessibility. The renovation likely includes improvements to make the building more accessible, energy-efficient, or better equipped to serve growing populations in northwest Harris County. Contract amendments like this are normal in construction projects when unexpected conditions arise or additional work becomes necessary. Harris County Commissioners Court meetings are public, and residents can attend to learn about projects affecting their neighborhoods.
