The Brays Bayou Association meets the third Monday of each month at The Gathering Place. Brays Bayou Association does not currently have a website.

All are welcome to Houston Renewable Energy Group’s monthly meetings! They will have a presentation on an interesting aspect of renewable energy in Houston, review HREG business, progress, and plan events. After the meeting, they usually spend some time socializing and finding out what is happening on the renewable scene in Houston from each other. Monthly Meetings are the best place for members to learn about HREG, ask questions, and provide suggestions.

If you are interested in volunteering or becoming a voting member, attending this meeting would be a great opportunity for you to learn more about what HREG does and how you can help. For more information, contact HREG.

From the Texas Bullet Train website:

This project is a privately developed high-speed train system that will provide another choice for those traveling between the two largest economic powerhouses of Texas – Houston and North Texas. Together, these areas represent approximately half of the Texas population.

Once constructed, the train is scheduled to run every 30 minutes during peak travel times and hourly during off-peak times, with a midpoint stop on the 90-minute journey in the Brazos Valley. Connecting these regions with this safe, reliable and productive transportation option will provide Texans more great choice as they travel for work and play. Additionally, this important infrastructure positions the state for future growth and creates tens of thousands of new jobs for Texans.

As developers of this private project, Texas-based Texas Central continues to promote an open conversation with all parties about the high-speed train. With a project of this scale, there are naturally questions and concerns.
