Northpark Needs You: Chambers Unite to Support Kingwood Businesses Amid Road Expansion
KINGWOOD, TX — July 29, 2025 – The Greater East Montgomery County Chamber and Partnership Lake Houston have joined forces to launch Northpark Needs You, a unified campaign to support Kingwood businesses impacted by the ongoing Northpark Drive road expansion project.
This regional effort comes in response to construction initiated by the Lake Houston Redevelopment Authority, which—while vital to infrastructure improvement—is placing a heavy burden on local businesses that depend on in-person customers. The most affected are those located along the Northpark Drive corridor and near Russell Palmer Road, where detours, delays, and reduced accessibility are contributing to significant revenue loss.
“Progress is essential, but it doesn’t come without challenges,” said Mark Linabury, President/CEO of the Greater EMC Chamber. “This initiative is about encouraging our community to rally behind the businesses that make Kingwood thrive—regardless of whether they are chamber members or which chamber they belong to.”
Northpark Needs You aims to raise awareness and inspire residents to shop local, dine local, and drive the extra mile for Kingwood businesses during this time of disruption. Both chambers recognize the shared responsibility of supporting the economic vitality of the region through collaboration and compassion.
“Every effort matters—every visit, every purchase,” added Ray Hernandez, President/CEO of Partnership Lake Houston. “We’re asking our community to go beyond convenience and make conscious choices that keep our local economy strong.”

Thank you for making the effort. Thank you for driving the extra mile.
