Katy/Fulshear, TX – April 15, 2010. . . . A dozen Firethorne employees were out "en force' on FM 1463 last week, reinforcing their ongoing commitment to keep their two-mile stretch of highway in the Katy community litter-free. Staffers of the 1,400-acre master-designed community adopted a section of their neighboring highway in Katy/Fulshear as part of the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) Adopt A Highway program.

"We're out there in our orange safety vests picking up trash to help maintain these two miles along FM 1463, starting at the I-10 feeder road, going south past Firethorne," said Firethorne Director of Marketing Janet Burkett. "We're literally behind the 'Don't Mess With Texas' anti-litter campaign in every sense."

The Firethorne volunteers on clean-up duty included: Burkett, Jefferson Development President Robert White, Harrison Cardiff, Chase Cardiff, Pam Roberson, Janet Burkett, Christy Martin, Hanna Holsapple, MaryJo Jasperson, Kelley Baldwin, Vicki Welsch, Erin Benson, Randy Carr and Christine Cardiff.

Firethorne, located 15 miles west of the Houston Energy Corridor, features 150 acres devoted to parks and recreational amenities, a 12-acre lake with surrounding greenbelt, resort-style swim center, sports fields, hike/bike trails, parks and playgrounds, wildlife observation area and a natural bird habitat. It's where the vibrancy of West Houston meets the small-town charm of Katy/Fulshear. Take I-10 West and exit Pin Oak to FM 1463, or call 281-693-1011.
