A Message from the River Place Board
Thank you for your comments and questions. The Limited District's goal is to ensure the long term sustainability and safety of all the green spaces in the district. Because the Limited District’s Board of Directors is a governmental entity and therefore subject to the Texas Open Meetings Act, we are limited as to the time and manner in which we can discuss district business. However, the Board is planning regular reviews and continued discussions of a suggested annual pass, volunteer in exchange for pass and other positive community feedback. Meetings and agendas are posted on the website for River Place Limited District. Any decisions regarding the trail fee program will be communicated on this website.
