With Howe growing and becoming just a little bit different than in previous years, the opportunity exists for citizens to get involved in what's going on

In the past 15 months, Howe has upstarted the chamber of commerce, become a member of Keep Texas Beautiful by starting Keep Howe Beautiful. Also, the city has started the new economic development program called Howe Development Alliance to coexist with the Howe Community Facilities Development Corporation.

In the 1940's Howe emerged as "The Prettiest Little Town in Texas" thanks to the effort of Mame Roberts who led the citizens to get involved and take ownership of how the city is perceived to passerbys, neighboring communities and even our own citizens

Many citizens have often wondered how they can help, and this is their chance

"Every little town - your little town, my little town - has its part to play in state and national affairs We are important With a united effort, we can make the place in which we live, clean, wholesome, attractive. We can make the crowded city dweller homesick to come back to us and real living. We can bring new life, new business, new beauty to the little towns." -

Mame Roberts
