About Charlie Riley
“Serving the members of our beautiful community is an honor. I’ve been lucky to call Montgomery County home for fifty years, and it is that personal knowledge and care for our community that guides every decision I make.
The future will have many changes, and those changes bring concerns of safety and traffic congestion. Careful planning goes into our infrastructure so that every citizen can experience high quality mobility and the protection of the law enforcement professionals who serve Precinct 2.”
In the 50 years that Commissioner Charlie Riley has called Montgomery County home, he has worked to build the legacy of Precinct 2 with conservative ideals that reflect the community values that are critical for a promising future. His strong and stable leadership focuses on developing an infrastructure that allows smart mobility options for commuters and provide easier navigation throughout Precinct 2 and Montgomery County. Besides county roads and bridges, the Commissioner is responsible for a recycling facility, county parks, county sports complexes, and county community buildings. He is one of five who make up the Montgomery County Commissioners Court, whose responsibilities include approving the county’s budget as well as planning for future growth and challenges.
Commissioner Riley was the Operations Manager for Precinct 2 for 13 years prior to being elected Precinct 2 Commissioner in 2014. Discussing current and future goals with local neighborhood associations, combined with active listening and working together, Commissioner Riley endeavors to make Montgomery County Precinct 2 an even more desirable place to live, work and play.
He realizes his obligation is to serve the past, present and the future.

Montgomery County and received a donation of 391 acres from the Johnson Development Co. and Precinct 2 Commissioner Charlie Riley plans to enhance the land into a sports park with a nature center and community center.
The park will maintain most of its natural features while the improvements will provide an outlet for the area.
“We are going to make it a top notch destination for folks in Precinct 2,” Riley said. “It’s been a challenge to get all this done but it will be well worth it and a real asset for Montgomery County.” “We have been working on this and we finally got it all hammered out and the paperwork is ready to sign,” Riley said.
Working on the realization of the donation, came to fruition by way of the generosity of Virgil Yoakum, vice president and general manager for Johnson Development.
“I look forward to future generations enjoying all the amenities that are in the plans to be built,” Yoakum said. “We’ve seen the concept plans and we believe that everyone in our region will benefit. There is a need for these amenities and facilities.”
The location of the park will be off of Fishcreek Thoroughfare near the Woodforest community.
