Having moved to Manvel recently I am surprised and little discouraged to find we do not have a grocery store close by! I love H-E-B but it disappointing that we have to drive into Pearland, where the traffic is so congested, to shop. Other alternatives are to Alvin or Friendswood. I was told there would be a store going up in our town but have not heard when this will actually happen? Having just received by property tax statement I am shocked that we pay what we do and yet we don't have a grocery store!

Well this is more of a necessity than anything else. Manvel is a growing town. Now with well over 10,000 people we are racing towards beating Alvin (24,000 ppl). Yet our small town is still small, we haven’t yet adopted the idea of expanding and using our resources as we should be. We have MUCH available space along HW6 and I truly believe we should be planting structures such as restaurants or entertainment and hotels. These additions would allow Manvel to be more than a drive through never look back town but a town of affluence where one could stop for 100 different types of food and maybe see a movie at a theater or go for a walk in the park or even stay at a hotel or RV park. Manvel has immense opportunities and we should be taking full advantage of how we want our town to look in 10yrs because wether we realize it or not....we are already there, we are already ahead of the game and need to continue this rise.

Manvel is already one of the most beautiful towns in south Houston, it is our job to maintain this beauty. I, being only 17, have limits to what I can do, but together we can make a difference for Manvel. I propose the creation of a park, not only to preserve that particular area of Manvel, but to allow for tourism and public enjoyment. My ideas on infrastructure are just the opposite. Rather than protecting a green area we need to bring the green to these areas. We should encourage our businesses and companies to plant trees and flowers and improve the quality of Manvel from the HW6 view and the public perspective. Manvel MUST compete in order to come out on top. So keeping trash picked up and our natural aspects in top shape will encourage economic growth as well as bring people to our area to live and benefit us as a whole.
