What Happened in the Northwest Houston Corridor This Week, October 25, 2026?

By Alfred Castillo. Published October 25, 2026. Updated October 25, 2026.

A weekly roundup works like a baseball box score. You skip the pitch-by-pitch and check who actually scored. Here is the box score for October 18 through 25, with the source and date on every item.

What Did Tomball Decide This Week?

At its October 19 meeting, the Tomball City Council unanimously named interim Police Chief Shon Davis as the permanent chief, according to Community Impact on October 20. Davis joined the department in 2007 and most recently led its patrol operations division.

The same night, the council approved a rezoning at Cherry and McPhail streets from residential to mixed-use on a 3-2 vote, per that report. The change lets a small brokerage office open on the lot, and some residents raised concerns that the zoning could later allow other businesses.

Here is why that matters to anyone buying or selling nearby. Zoning is the rulebook, and the building is just the current game. A lot's category decides what the next owner is allowed to do, whatever sits on it today.

Community Impact also reported on October 20 that the council hired Dean and Company LLC to finish erosion repairs in the North Star Estates neighborhood. The city ended its contract with the previous contractor on August 31 and filed a claim against that contractor's performance bond.

Just before the week began, the Tomball ISD board met on October 13 and finalized more than $11 million in contracts and purchases funded by the 2025 bond. The board also voted to rename Creekside Park Jr. High School as Creekside Park (Community Impact, October 15).

What Is Klein ISD Planning at Klein Collins High School?

Klein ISD officials described a combined auditorium and traffic project at Klein Collins High School costing about $29 million, Community Impact reported on October 23. Construction is expected to start in spring 2027 and finish by September 2028.

The traffic portion targets congestion on Ella Boulevard, separates student drop-off and pick-up from general traffic and repaves campus driveways. The auditorium portion brings the space up to the standard of the district's other high schools, adds instructional space for fine arts and renovates the nutrition and food services area.

The money comes from the district's $900 million bond that Klein ISD voters approved in May 2022, per the same report. A bond works like a layaway plan: voters approve the total once, and the district spends it project by project on a schedule that can shift.

What Else Happened in the Northwest Houston Corridor This Week?

Kelsey-Seybold Clinic held a ribbon-cutting on October 21 for its North Houston Cancer Center, which offers oncology, infusion and radiation therapy, Community Impact reported on October 22. The address is 15655 Cypress Woods Medical Drive. The report does not say when the center began seeing patients.

In Spring, Community Impact reported on October 16 that JETSET Pilates, at 122 Vintage Park Blvd., Suite G, held a soft opening on October 5 with its grand opening set for October 24.

When Is Early Voting in Harris County?

Click2Houston reported on October 19 that Harris County early voting runs October 19 through October 30 at more than 70 centers. Hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and today, Sunday, October 25, centers are open from noon to 7 p.m. Election Day is Tuesday, November 3.

Local ballots carry tax-rate and bond questions. I explain what they are and never tell you how to vote. For the Cypress side, start with my breakdown of the Cy-Fair ISD bond election. Montgomery County voters should check that county's election office for their own dates and locations.

What Does This Week Mean for Buyers and Sellers?

Every item above is a scheduled plan, a vote or an opening, and none of them is a prediction about any home's price. Dates in district and city plans can move, and I can't promise how any project affects a particular street.

If you are buying, ask for the zoning category of the lots next to the one you like, and ask what bond projects sit within a few blocks. My home buyer guide walks through those questions.

If you are selling, keep a one-page list of what is coming near you, with dates and sources. Buyers ask, and a clear answer beats a shrug. My home seller guide covers the prep, and the monthly market updates cover the numbers. Last week's box score is in my October 18 roundup.

Bottom line: read the schedule, check the zoning and ask for the source before you let a headline set your price.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does construction start at Klein Collins High School?

Can I vote early in Harris County today?

Yes. Per Click2Houston on October 19, centers are open today, Sunday, October 25, from noon to 7 p.m., and early voting continues through October 30.

I can't say either way. Ask the city planning office for the zoning map and the rules for that category. For a value opinion, talk to a licensed appraiser, because Metro is a brokerage and not an appraiser.
