Fort Bend County hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on February 3 to celebrate the opening of the county’s second Neighborhood Tool Hub at Abe & Lizzie Daily Park at 4026 Nails Rd., Simonton.

Fort Bend County Judge KP George, Precinct 1 Commissioner Vincent Morales, Precinct 3 Commissioner Andy Meyers, local officials, community leaders, and residents attended the ceremony. This new Tool Hub is an innovative resource designed to provide tools and equipment that residents can borrow, empowering them to maintain their homes, complete community projects, and enhance their neighborhoods.

Precinct 1 Commissioner Vincent Morales emphasized the initiative's importance, stating, “The Houston Tool Bank’s Neighborhood Tool Hubs empower our community by providing access to tools and resources that enable individuals and organizations to build, repair, and improve the spaces around them. By lending tools, they foster growth, creativity, and collaboration, making Fort Bend County a better place for all.”

Precinct 3 Commissioner Andy Meyers also highlighted the value of community collaboration: “Adding the new tool bank at Daily Park exemplifies how partnerships between civic-minded residents, dedicated non-profits, and Fort Bend County create lasting community assets. Thanks to Dr. Harold Daily and his family's generous donation of nearly 70 acres along the Brazos River, we continue to enhance this park for our community. This tool bank is the latest example of how public-private collaboration builds stronger neighborhoods for Fort Bend County residents.”

Following the ribbon-cutting ceremony, attendees enjoyed guided tours of the new Tool HUB.
