“I consider it an honor to represent the people in the Precinct 2 community. 13 years before taking the oath to serve as your Commissioner in 2014, I was the Operations Manager for Precinct 2, managing the supervisors and their crews as they completed their work assignments for all daily and emergency needs that arose. This provided me insight for administering the operation and budgeting needs of the office as a whole for the community. Discussing current and future goals with local neighborhood associations, combined with active listening and working together, I will continue to endeavor to make Montgomery County Precinct 2 an even more desirable place to live, work and play. I understand that my duty is to honor the past while serving the present and the future of Precinct 2 and all of Montgomery County.” – Commissioner Charlie Riley

Precinct 2 Emergency Management Building
Precinct 2 Commissioner Charlie Riley identified the critical need for an Emergency Management Building to serve the west end of Montgomery County. Since 2015, Precinct 2 has responded to 30 major natural disasters affecting our area. Our team proactively engages in community assistance well in advance of anticipated events and the events that follow during a major emergency event. The 8,000-square-foot Emergency Management Building, equipped with essential supplies, equipment, and a backup generator, will serve as a centralized hub for first responders and community leaders to coordinate their efforts effectively. It will soon be operational. Prior to having this building in place, the nearest emergency response facility of this type was in Conroe, which created safety risks for our crew because of the need to travel in hazardous conditions for additional supplies. This new facility significantly enhances the safety and efficiency of our operations, ensuring that Precinct 2 continues to deliver unparalleled support and expertise to serve the surrounding community.
The 2025 Road Bond projects for Precinct 2 include 19 planned road reconstruction assignments.
Completed – Capitol Hill Rd, Butera Rd, Wright Rd, Rabon Chapel Rd, Pine Ln, Goodson Loop and Phase 1 of Hardin Store Rd.
In Progress – Hardin Store Rd, Kidd Rd and Honea Egypt Rd.
Significant progress is being made on current projects. Each active construction site is monitored daily by supervisors, who address any concerns directly. The road reconstruction process is complex and involves multiple stages. The project is deemed complete only upon the final approval of our supervisors.
All projects listed under the Road Bond for Precinct 2 will be addressed as scheduling permits. Key considerations for initiating work include the absence of interference from ongoing external utility projects, the availability of construction crews, the procurement of materials from local suppliers, securing right-of-way permissions from landowners and railroad companies, and favorable weather conditions.
Thank you for your patience and please drive carefully when you’re in construction zones.
