What this is
Harris County Precinct 4 builds flood protection, plants trees, and improves parks to keep West Harris County families safe and connected.
Commissioner Lesley Briones and the Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC) hosted a ceremonial tree planting to celebrate the planting of 1,000 trees through the ForUsTree project on Wednesday, April 29, at Arthur Storey Park.
Gerald Bell, a longtime groundskeeper for Precinct 4, was inspired by his father’s outdoor work and now carries on that legacy while passing it down to his son, taking pride in maintaining parks that serve families across the community. Through years of dedicated service and involvement in projects like the revitalization of Burnett Bayland Park, he continues to create safe, welcoming spaces and make a lasting, everyday impact on the people who use them.
Kamin becomes first woman and first mother to serve in the role
As a mom and as a Commissioner in Harris County, one of the nation's most disaster-prone areas, I think about those families often—their terror as the water rose, the grief of the days that followed, and the isolation they must have felt when no one from their federal government was there to help.
Project will enhance flood protection for 100,000+ residents in West Harris County
