The Non-Negotiable Standard Southwest Houston Deserves

The Hiram Clarke Fort Bend Redevelopment Authority does not operate behind closed doors. Every project, every contract and every dollar is documented, published and made available to the community it serves. Since 2013, that open-book approach has driven $50 million in verified improvements across southwest Houston.

Accessible board meetings. Accessible financials. Community-guided planning. When residents, developers and stakeholders can see exactly where reinvestments go and why — trust no longer becomes something we ask for. It’s something we’ve earned. That’s the HCFBRA standard.

    const headings = document.querySelectorAll('[data-heading]');

    headings.forEach(heading => {
        // Get the computed styles of the heading
        const computedStyle = window.getComputedStyle(heading);
        const headingWidth = heading.offsetWidth;

        // Create a hidden element for measuring
        const measure = document.createElement('span');
        measure.style.cssText = `
            position: absolute;
            visibility: hidden;
            white-space: nowrap;
            font: ${computedStyle.font};
        `;
        document.body.appendChild(measure);

        // Get the text content and preserve all spaces
        const text = heading.textContent;
        const words = text.split(/(\s+)/); // Split into words AND spaces to preserve spacing

        // Build lines word by word
        words.forEach(word => {
            measure.textContent = currentLine.join('') + word; // Join without adding extra spaces

            if (measure.offsetWidth > headingWidth && currentLine.length > 0) {
                lines.push(currentLine.join('')); // Push the current line
                currentLine = [word]; // Start a new line
            } else {

            }

        if (currentLine.length > 0) {
            lines.push(currentLine.join(''));
        }

        // Remove measuring element
        document.body.removeChild(measure);

        // Replace heading content with wrapped lines
        heading.innerHTML = lines
            .map(line => `<span class="line" style="display: block;">${line}</span>`)
            .join('');
    });

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', wrapHeadingLines);
let resizeTimer;
window.addEventListener('resize', () => {
    clearTimeout(resizeTimer);
    resizeTimer = setTimeout(wrapHeadingLines, 250);
});

Why This Zone Exists — And What It's Built to Do

Our Purpose

Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Twenty-Five, City of Houston, Texas was created for the purpose of catalyzing sustainable economic and community development projects and programs through the planning, engineering, and construction of new and reconstructed streets and roadways, water distribution facilities, storm drainage improvements, parks and greenspace development as well as enhancements to cultural and recreational facilities that support a strong, high-quality community.

News Straight From the Authority

Project milestones, community updates and the stories behind every reinvestment — reported openly so you never have to wonder what's happening in your neighborhood.

How Tax Reinvestments Works For You

Our Mission In Action

We capture property tax growth from a 6,077-acre zone and channel every dollar back into the roads, sidewalks, lighting, trails and public spaces this community has needed for decades.

No new taxes are created. No decisions are made without community input. Every expenditure is published. Every project is tracked from approval to completion — because reinvestment only works when the people it serves can see it, shape it and hold it accountable.

How We Started

From Overlooked to Nationally Recognized

In 2011, the late Council Member Larry Green looked across southwest Houston and saw what too many had overlooked — a community rich in families and potential, but starved of the infrastructure investment it deserved.

Rather than wait for the city to prioritize the area, he and several community trailblazers built the framework for TIRZ 25: a mechanism to ensure this community’s own tax growth would be reinvested exactly where it was generated — openly, collaboratively and with full public accountability.

What started as one leader’s refusal to accept the status quo has become a nationally recognized model for transparent, community-driven redevelopment. Here’s how that journey unfolded.

Public Board Meetings: Your Seat at the Table.

Transparency In Practice 

Our board meets the first Thursday of every month at noon — and every meeting is open to the public. This is where budgets are reviewed, projects are approved and community voices directly shape what gets built next. No gatekeeping. Pull up a chair.
