Today, Township employees gathered for the annual Thanksgiving luncheon, a time to celebrate, connect and give thanks! As part of the ceremony, we proudly recognized our fellow Township Veterans and honored their service and sacrifice to our country. ❤️

The celebration also brought another reason to be thankful: The Woodlands Township was named one of the Houston Chronicle’s “Best Workplaces”! 🏆

We’re grateful for our employees who make the Township such a special place to work and serve our community.
