In a recent special meeting held on May 30, 2025, the Conroe City Council addressed a significant issue regarding a temporary development moratorium that has implications for local growth and infrastructure. The council ultimately voted to deny the moratorium, allowing development to continue in areas of the city with adequate water capacity.

The discussion highlighted the urgency of the situation, as the council was required by law to make a decision on the moratorium by June 3. Council members expressed gratitude for the support from state representatives and emphasized the importance of collaboration with the industry to ensure the city thrives.

Councilman Hartman, who initially voted against the moratorium, praised the decision to deny it, acknowledging the wealth of information that had been gathered. He urged city staff to continue monitoring data related to development, ensuring that decisions are based on accurate and comprehensive information.

The council's decision to deny the moratorium reflects a commitment to fostering growth while balancing the need for responsible development. As Conroe continues to expand, the focus remains on maintaining infrastructure and resources to support the community's needs. The council's actions signal a proactive approach to managing development in a way that benefits residents and supports the city's long-term goals.
