Houston’s Energy Corridor has been in a state of transformation in recent years, negotiating a variety of overlapping trends. Among them: company relocations, open office space being repurposed, population growth on the West side of Greater Houston changing traffic patterns, and expectations of residents and commuting workers alike.
The corridor, which bridges Houston and Katy along I-10 on the West side is still very much a hub for energy companies and other businesses, but it’s a lot more than that, too. And that means some complex decisions lay ahead for the Energy Corridor District, a two thousand acre business improvement district, which manages development and planning in the area. Its new president, just announced this week, is Bryan Brown.
In the audio above, we talk with Brown about some of the challenges the Energy Corridor faces, and the role the district can play in addressing them.
