Sugar Land 101 Class Applications Available

Sugar Land, Texas - The City of Sugar Land will accept applications through Oct. 31 for the next Sugar Land 101 class scheduled to begin in January 2013.

Sugar Land 101 participants learn about City operations from Sugar Land's top managers. The class also includes two citywide tours, including a behind the scenes look at City facilities.
