Midtown Houston is a neighborhood on the rise with more people moving in, businesses opening, and parks and public spaces alive with activity. But as Midtown continues to grow, so does the need for consistent, visible public safety.

As Midtown Houston looks ahead to a more walkable and connected future, we are excited to share updates on the street overlay and sidewalk improvement projects now underway. These infrastructure enhancements are designed to create safer, more accessible streets which better serve our community of residents, visitors, and businesses.

Midtown Houston  is constantly buzzing with energy, growth, and new faces—but some businesses have been part of the neighborhood’s story for decades. They are the originals—the ones who believed in Midtown’s potential before the skyline was filled with cranes and high-rises.

May is blooming with fresh opportunities to get outside, try something new, and connect with the Midtown Houston community.

With a long-standing commitment to preserving its rich heritage and creating vibrant spaces for public engagement, Midtown Redevelopment Authority (MRA)  has awarded $500,000 Cultural Facilities Grants to support major capital improvement projects at the Buffalo Soldiers National Museum and the Historic LULAC Council 60 Clubhouse.
