League City recently awarded two projects to add and replace traffic signals for a combined total of $911,000 on the city’s east and west sides.

The details: League City City Council voted unanimously at its April 28 meeting to award the two contracts to Dallas-based UES Professional Solutions and Dickinson-based contractor Traffic Systems Construction, and consulting firm Kimberly-Horn.

Why it matters: The city is installing the traffic signal system at the Maple Leaf Drive and League City Parkway intersection due to anticipated growth as the city extends League City Parkway into Friendswood, according to previous reporting by Community Impact.

Delta Chiropractic and Wellness completed a remodel that began March 27 and concluded over Easter weekend, owner and lead chiropractor Faith Wilson confirmed.

What you need to know: The project expanded the clinic into the full building after the neighboring tenant moved out. The clinic closed March 27-30 with limited operations while construction continued. Delta Chiropractic and Wellness offers services for a range of conditions, including prenatal and pediatric care, back and neck pain, sports injuries, neuropathy and migraines, according to its website.

In a one-year snapshot of Greater Houston attitudes, residents expressed the largest drop in confidence about regional job opportunities in more than 40 years, according to survey results released April 27 from the Kinder Institute for Urban Research.

About the data: Rice University researchers collected nearly 9,000 responses between January and February from residents in Harris, Fort Bend and Montgomery counties.

At a glance: One quarter of residents across all three counties named the economy as the “biggest problem” facing the Houston area this year compared to 16% in 2025, survey results show.

Crime and safety was the second-most commonly identified problem, followed by the cost of housing for Harris County residents and traffic for residents of Fort Bend and Montgomery counties. 

Another detail: The percentage of residents reporting they are “just getting by” or “finding it difficult to get by” increased across all income groups in the past year, survey results show.

Also of note: About 7 in 10 residents expressed concern about the environment’s effects on their health, researchers found. 

Camp Mystic, the Texas Hill Country camp where 28 people died in catastrophic flooding last summer, announced April 30 that it will not welcome campers this summer.

The background: The decision comes nearly 10 months after 25 young campers, two teenage counselors and the camp’s executive director, Dick Eastland, died as the Guadalupe River camp flooded July 4. Camp Mystic’s owners had planned to open a secondary campsite called Cypress Lake in late May, but backed down at the urging of flood victims’ families and state lawmakers.

What's happening: A spokesperson for the Department of State Health Services, which licenses youth camps, confirmed to Community Impact that Camp Mystic had withdrawn its application to operate in summer 2026. 

In a statement, Camp Mystic officials said they did not want to “unintentionally effect further harm” on flood victims and their families.

"We also recognize that over 800 girls want to return to Camp Mystic Cypress Lake this summer," they wrote. "Our special bond with our Camp Mystic families does not change or end with the announcement."
