Thank You Fair Oaks Ranch Police and Utility!

This past week saw a winter storm come and disrupt power and city services for many residents, and we can't let this week end without recognizing the fantastic work of our Fair Oaks Ranch Utility crews, Maintenance teams, and Police Officers. They worked throughout the storm, ensuring our water utility remained stable, our roadways were kept clear, and checking in on residents during the outage. 

Their tireless effort kept our community safe and storm damage to a minimum. We can't thank them enough for their incredible dedication and work!

Discussing the Future of Transportation on the Ranch! 

The Transportation Town Hall was held on January 24, 2023, and we are so excited to have seen such enthusiasm and engagement at the City’s first Town Hall of 2023! Over 100 residents joined City Council, TxDOT, FORHA, and City staff in discussing the future of transportation on the Ranch. 

Thank you to everyone who came out to share thoughts and ideas, and we look forward to having more community town halls in the future!
