Each year at this special event Scenic Houston recognizes a community leader who is playing a vital role in improving Houston’s appearance and image. We are delighted to announce that this year’s Scenic Visionary award will be presented to John R. Breeding.
For more than 20 years Mr. Breeding, in his capacities as President and CEO of the Uptown Houston District and as Administrator of the Uptown Development Authority, has set the standards in creating the archetype for successful mixed use urban centers in the United States. With the vision and support of the Boards he serves, Mr. Breeding has led efforts in planning, funding, management and governance to turn Uptown Houston, 500 acres located in the heart of Houston, into one of the most economically viable, iconic destinations in the country.
