📰 News we're reading

• Sugar Land is running out of room. Now it's rethinking how it grows. (houstonchronicle.com) — Sugar Land officials say less than 4% of the city's land remains available for development, pushing leaders to focus on redevelopment, infill projects, and higher-value uses of remaining sites. Key opportunities include the Imperial Historic District, the former Fluor campus, and reinvestment in Town Square, as the city shifts from greenfield growth to strategically attracting employers that fit long-term economic goals.
