The neighborhood of Trinity/Houston Gardens is one of three “Super Neighborhoods” that collaborated with the Department of Planning and Development to create a comprehensive community plan tailored to the unique needs of Northeast Houston. District B – Houston is focused on increasing economic development and employment opportunities for all residents. Two of their biggest projects are to attract mixed income housing into the district and revitalize a local apartment community, and to redevelop a dilapidated shopping complex into something the community needs and wants, such as an anchor grocery store. The ultimate goal of District B – Houston is to see residents able to learn, live, eat, play, and work in their community.
