Mid-May 2023 News

Grogan's Mill Village Association
Important Update on the Shopping Center
The strip centers and the Randalls store have been acquired by the Howard Hughes Corporation, the successor to The Woodland Development Company. We have asked Howard Hughes to brief us on their plans. They gave us the statement shown in quotes below and have promised more information later.
"HHC has acquired the in-line retail and grocery anchor component of the Grogan’s Mill Village Center. This totals approximately nine acres. We recognize the importance of the Farmer’s Market to the community and want to be part of the solution to enhance the center. At this time, we do not know what this will entail but will share details as plans are made."
Members of the Howard Hughes Organization met with the store owners in the shopping center this morning to brief them on their situation and to make them comfortable with what is happening. From our discussions with the store owners today, they seem comfortable with what they have heard.
Members of the GMVA will be meeting with them in the near future. In addition to the market we are interested in knowing their development plans, timing and what can be done to assist our existing merchants in the center. In our prior meetings with Howard Hughes, we have been impressed by their desire to maintain the quality standards we are accustomed to living with in the Woodlands. We will keep you posted.

Phat Eatery, the new Malaysian restaurant that will move into Fuddruckers space, has received their construction loan and work started this week. Project is scheduled for 180 days.
Nominate Someone for Yard of the Month
Our Yard of the Month program is in full swing and we need your help to identify award-winning yards. The GMVA prefers to award houses where the homeowner does all or most of the yard work themselves. The winner will receive a $50 gift certificate to The Woodlands Farmer's Market and be announced on our social media and in this newsletter. Don't be shy! You can nominate a neighbor or even your own yard. Let us hear from you. Please email your nomination to bellacruzsoldit@gmail.com by the 26th of each month.
Celebrating Moms at the Market
