Humble Elementary School received a donated Book Nook through a partnership with Joe V’s Smart Shop, officials announced in a Jan. 21 news release. The donation is coming as construction is underway on a new Joe V's Smart Shop location in Humble. 

The details: The Book Nook was stocked with a wide selection of brand-new books that students will be able to redeem by using tokens they earn through academic success, good attendance and showing positive behavior, according to the news release.

Some context: Construction on a new Joe V’s Smart Shop in Humble began in January, according to a Sept. 12 filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. The $9.4 million project will consist of converting a roughly 58,000-square-foot facility into a new space for the grocery store.

The timeline: While a projected opening date was not included in the filing, construction on the project is expected to wrap up in October.

Commissioners will consider and potentially take action on over 300 agenda items Feb. 12, including approving an interlocal agreement for a mental health mapping project in Precinct 4 and a progress update on a countywide flood mapping system.

The big picture: Harris County Flood Control District officials will provide an update to commissioners on the progress and next steps of the MAAPNext project. The project is a collaborative effort with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which is also funding the project, and HCFCD to create up-to-date hydrology and flood maps to gauge current and future flooding risks across the county.

Also of note: Precinct 4 Commissioner Lesley Briones will seek to approve an interlocal agreement with the University of Houston to conduct an extension of a mental health resource mapping project to "provide actionable data to guide policies, budget priorities, and community engagement strategies aimed at enhancing access to care."
