H-GAC Overview
The Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) is a council of governments, comprised of 13 member counties and more than 100 member cities in Texas, through which local governments consider issues and cooperate in solving area-wide problems.
The 13-county H-GAC service region is growing, becoming more diverse, and constantly changing. To address the needs of citizens and businesses, local governments are providing leadership to guide regional development wisely and manage change constructively.
All H-GAC programs are carried out under the policy direction of H-GAC’s local elected official Board of Directors. H-GAC is made up of the region's local governments and their elected officials. The Board works together with public and private sector organizations and a host of volunteers.
The Community and Environmental Planning Department within H-GAC seeks to improve quality of life throughout the region by providing planning and recommendations for orderly growth; encouraging economic development; and guiding local and regional planning to maintain and enhance the region's natural environment.
