Grogan’s Mill Village Center revitalization project underway for New Library and Community Center
Construction for the Grogan’s Mill Village Center revitalization project is currently underway and moving forward to build the new state-of-the-art library, community center, and 32,000 square feet of modern retail space. Originally developed in 1974 as the first village center in The Woodlands, this project will breathe new life into a beloved community hub.

The design for the future Library and Community Center was developed in close consultation with the county and becoming a reality with O’Donnell/Snider Construction (OSC).
The library will include several new features, including a special children’s area fully separated from the rest of the library with an enclosed space for reading sessions and play; an enclosed young adult room, podcast room, 3D printer, and multiple workrooms; and a 100-person, theater-style classroom. Creative artwork and beautiful wall coverings will help create an inviting atmosphere.
The community center will offer a modern conference room, boardroom, and several meeting rooms; a multifunctional meeting hall/ballroom; and enhanced facilities to continue serving residents of all ages. It also includes a larger meeting hall used for daily senior meals, voting, community activities, and meetings. Both the library and the community center will have upgraded technological amenities throughout.
The Woodlands Farmer’s Market continues to operate every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot throughout construction.
The new village center is expected to be completed by summer 2025.
The retail and restaurant portion of the Grogan’s Mill Village Center is also under construction in partnership with WC Construction, with an estimated completion date of April/May 2025. Howard Hughes shared they secured long-term leases or recently signed long-term extensions with current operating businesses including Brother’s Pizza, Ome Calli Café, Safeway Driving, The UPS Store, Woodforest National Bank, and The Woodlands Cleaners. Howard Hughes just announced Half Baked Goodness as first new tenant for the village center. Existing retailers and businesses are currently open during construction.
