 If FM 1463 is looking even
more beautiful than usual, it's thanks to Firethorne employees. Staffers
of the 1,400-acre master-designed community recently adopted a two-mile
stretch along their neighboring highway as part of the Texas Department of
Transportation (TXDOT) Adopt A Highway program to keep Texas highways
litter-free.
"We're responsible for helping maintain these two miles along FM 1463 and
will be out there in our safety vests four times a year to support the
Adopt A Highway litter prevention program," said Firethorne Director of
Marketing Janet Burkett. The FM 1463 assigned area spans from I-10 feeder
road and heads south past Firethorne.
The Firethorne volunteers recently conducted their first clean-up duty.
They included Burkett, Firethorne General Manager Wayne Meyer, Jefferson
Development President Robert White and ten employees, including
Firethorne Visitor Center Guides. The TXDOT recently erected the
official "Adopt A Highway Firethorne Employees" signpost.
Firethorne, located 15 miles west of the Houston Energy Corridor,
features 150 acres devoted to parks and recreational amenities, a 12-acre
lake with surrounding greenbelt, resort-style swim center, sports fields,
hike/bike trails, parks and playgrounds, wildlife observation area and a
natural bird habitat. It's where the vibrancy of West Houston meets the
small-town charm of Katy/Fulshear. Take I-10 West and exit Pin Oak to FM
1463, go to www.firethorne.info, or call 281-693-1011.
