Title: Harris County is HUGE!!
Topic: Harris County Population Growth

Discussed by Commissioner Cactus Jack Cagle
with Cactus Jack Cagle (www.CactusJackCagle.com)

Little known facts about Harris County that you may not be aware of will be revealed here today with Commissioner Cactus Jack Cagle. Did you know that the population in Harris County is equivalent to the population in the entire state of Louisiana? Precinct 4 alone has more people than eight states! Over the next fifteen years, the population in Harris County, which is currently nearly 4.5 million people, is expected to double. Double! That means we could potentially see 9 million people living in the area.

Growth is great for the economy, but it is terrible for traffic! It seems like there is always some road, some highway that is under construction – and this needs to happen to make it easier to drive around the city with more ease! “There will always be traffic,” Cactus says. “But if time is money then we need to improve our infrastructure.” New subdivisions are popping up everywhere, too. Traditionally, the Precinct 4 Commissioner’s court approves nine-to-nineteen new subdivision requests every other week. People want to move to Harris County, specifically the unincorporated areas in the North and Northwest sections. They will need more ways to get from A to B.

Listen in as Cactus Jack discusses the four bonds on the ballot for Harris County. I, Terry Lowry, host of The What’s UP Radio Program and Editor of the LINK Letter, recommend a FOR vote for all four bonds on the Harris County ballot.
