improvements to Independence Park to reinvest and refurbish that open space gem. The park will reorient towards Pearland Parkway offering new parking and entertainment areas for special events. We hosted more than ten thousand people at the Pearland ISD Rig (thanks to PISD for the intergovernmental cooperation) for our Fourth of July Celebration of Freedom and we have National Night Out coming up in October. Take a look through this Pearland in Motion edition to find out about classes and special events throughout the year; always good to check pearlandtx.gov for information and resources as well. Another park improvement that is being added to is Centennial Park with new sports fields and an extension of Fite Road to the north that will further improve mobility. We are working on drainage plans as we move through Hurricane Season, which I trust you’ve taken preparation by making plans and setting aside supplies. New stores and restaurants continue to pop up to serve the rooftops that are Pearland’s strength. We are here to support, serve, and protect you with top-flight professionals in a wide variety of fields. All our City professionals are under the City of Pearland umbrella to provide fire, police, public works, water/sewer, parks, economic development, and community planning services that you rely upon. Our City’s Fiscal Year starts October 1 and we are finalizing the budget that will be presented to Pearland City Council. Take a look for information on our budget process on pearlandtx.gov .
