What residents need to know: At a June 1 Missouri City City Council meeting, City Manager Angel Jones announced her July 10 departure from the city, citing she was moving to be closer to her family.

Jones, who became Missouri City’s 10th city manager in December 2022, thanked council members, staff, residents and other stakeholders as she concludes her service at Missouri City and said she believes the city's best days are ahead.

"Together, we have strengthened our organization, advanced key initiatives, enhanced public service and positioned this great city for success," Jones said at the meeting. "Missouri City has become more than a community to me—it has become a part of my extended family."

With the World Cup beginning June 11, the city of Sugar Land is gearing up for fans looking to support their favorite teams.

The setup: Sugar Land officials held a ribbon-cutting ceremony June 4 to open the first official FIFA merchandise store in the Greater Houston area and the only store in Fort Bend County.

The store, which is situated in the former AT&T Store at 2191 Texas Drive, will offer official FIFA and Houston Host City merchandise, including jerseys, shirts, hats and posters, said Alison Brooks, who serves as assistant director of tourism for Visit Sugar Land.

Going forward: The store will be open for the entire length of the World Cup, Brooks said. Sugar Land will also host eight FIFA World Cup viewing parties in Town Square starting June 11 as Houston hosts seven World Cup matches between June 12 and July 4. The watch parties are free to the public but require prior reservations.

• Expanded stalls to accommodate carry-on luggage
• Improved Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility

• Upgraded fixtures for durability and cleanliness
