🚨 Community Update – MUD 39 🚨
Here’s a summary of some of the important updates coming out of our latest MUD 39 meeting:
🚸 Crosswalk Improvements
Construction is currently underway throughout Pomona to install the next phases of our crosswalk improvements.
As our community continues to grow, pedestrian safety remains an important priority for the MUD. These improvements are part of our continued effort to make it safer for residents, children, and families to move throughout the neighborhood.
🏗️ Commercial Development & Potential Annexation
We are currently in discussions regarding a commercial tract adjacent to the District.
The property is currently owned by the developer, who has already received traffic approval from TxDOT. In order for the property to receive water and wastewater service from MUD 39, the developer has requested that the property be annexed into the District.
Before any annexation occurs, we are waiting to review the proposed site plan and determine exactly what is being developed.
If we move forward, an agreement would establish requirements and expectations for the property, including compliance with Pomona’s overall development standards, acceptable types of businesses, lighting, appearance, and other items that help ensure the commercial development complements our community.
The goal is not simply to add commercial property to the District. It is to make sure that anything developed around Pomona is something that adds value to the community.
💰 MUD 39 Tax Rate
We are also currently working through the process of setting our tax rate for the upcoming year.
While many governmental entities are facing increased costs and considering higher tax rates, our current goal is to maintain MUD 39’s tax rate at $1.19.
Maintaining the rate would allow us to continue meeting our bond and debt obligations while also giving the District the financial flexibility to invest in additional community projects without unnecessarily taking on more debt.
This is especially important as Pomona continues to mature. Over time, the developer’s role within the community will continue to decrease, while the MUD’s responsibilities for infrastructure, maintenance, public safety initiatives, and other community needs will continue to increase.
Our goal is to prepare for that transition responsibly while maintaining MUD 39’s strong financial position.
🏘️ Looking Ahead
As Pomona grows and the developer begins to phase out, residents will see the role of MUD 39 continue to evolve.
Our responsibility is not only to maintain the infrastructure we have today, but to plan ahead, protect the District financially, and make thoughtful investments that continue improving the community.
As always, I’ll continue keeping everyone updated as these projects and discussions move forward.
