The Energy Corridor District (District) is an advocate for one of Houston’s premier business centers and destinations. Established in 2001 by the Texas Legislature as Harris County Improvement District #4, The District was created to promote, develop, encourage, maintain employment, commerce, transportation, housing, recreation, arts, entertainment, economic development, safety, and the public welfare within its boundaries.

Home to the headquarters and regional offices of prominent global firms within the energy sector and beyond, the District consists of over 2,000 acres, stretching along IH-10 from Kirkwood Road to the west of Barker Cypress Road, and extending south along Eldridge Parkway to south of Briar Forest Drive. The District also offers access to assets such as Buffalo Bayou, Terry Hershey Park, various recreational trails, and adjacency to over 26,000 acres of parks and open space.

 Although taking its name from housing the corporate headquarters of some of the world's largest energy companies, the Energy Corridor also has a profusion of family-friendly recreational facilities. Restaurants for all budgets and palates can be found along the Eldridge Parkway and Highway 6 North, while green space explorers can navigate 500 acres of hike and bike trails throughout Terry Hershey Park.
