    Houston Business A Perspective on the Houston Economy Fort Bend County: Life in the Urban Fast Lane Fort Bend County, 14 miles southwest of the central business district, is the fastest growing part of the Houston metropolitan area.

Fort Bend’s companions on these high-performance lists are mostly suburban counties across the United States, including cities such as Washington, D.C., Atlanta and Memphis.

Commissioners have all previously received reports from the O'Donnell bail monitors in September 2020 and March 2021, as well as a memorandum from the Harris County Justice Administration Department, in February, 2021. Because these previous reports reflect results which conflict with the daily experiences of prosecutors, police, and crime victims, the District Attorney's Office took another look at the same information and data used by the previous analysts, and produced the attached report.

  • Welcoming-Houston-Task-Force-Recommendations FINAL 01-18-17.Pdf
    ii 0 “When I ran for Mayor, you often heard me say that I wanted Houston to be a city with no limits, which acted responsibly, where government works for the people and is held to a higher standard – a city of hope, opportunity, and inspiration. That is the city I, along with your help, hope to continue to build. Houston is a city of immigrants and refugees, and they have a long and deep-rooted history in making Houston the great city it is today. As the nation’s fourth largest city, and most diverse metropolitan area in America, Houston is home to people from all over the world. One in four Houstonians is foreign-born, over 140 languages are spoken in our neighborhoods, and 90 countries are officially represented in the consular corps. This plan will help us develop best practices on how to better integrate and assist newly arrived Houstonians into our city. Immigrants and refugees are our neighbors. They are the families at our schools, churches, temples and mosques. They contribute to Houston’s vibrant economy, running many small businesses and working in all of Houston’s diverse industries. Regardless of where you come from, what you look like, your disability, what you believe, or who you love, we stand together as Houstonians. Houston always has been and always will be a Welcoming City.” – Mayor Sylvester Turner, December 12, 2016 1 Executive Summary Welcoming Houston is an initiative based on the belief that immigrant communities and receiving communities share many common goals and priorities and, by working together, can forge a stronger, richer democracy.
