Delivered bi-monthly to more than 44,000 households, The Woodlands Community Magazine remains the Township’s cornerstone of resident communication.

In addition, the Township earned a third-place Award of Excellence in the Special Event – One-Time Event category for its 50th Anniversary Celebration campaign. The recognition highlights a yearlong communications effort culminating in a grand public celebration and a series of commemorative projects, created in partnership with the Township’s Parks and Recreation Department and developer, Howard Hughes. Judges praised the campaign’s creativity, saying, “Clearly well-planned. I loved the commemorative book and ornaments—unique touches that will be remembered for years to come.”
