As a member of The Woodlands Chamber of Commerce, I attended an information session on the update of the Grand Parkway.  The Speaker was Linda Merritt of Zachery Odebrecht, Parkway Builders.  In short, the connection  between 290 and I 45 should be completed by the end of the 3rd quarter 2015.  However, this April/May some Exxon Mobile employees will begin to work on the new campus.  While this may be a little frustrating for the initial phases of construction, the Exxon Mobile move will have a very positive impact on The Woodlands.
