The Sugar Land Way happens every day in Sugar Land - whether it's your friendly neighbor who is always spreading cheer to others, a stranger paying it forward in the grocery store line or a public servant going above and beyond the call of duty. In honor of the City's 60th anniversary on December 29, 2019, the City launched a formal way for the community to share their Sugar Land Way stories with the broader community. The initiative focuses on celebrating all of the things that make Sugar Land such a unique and special place.
