The Galveston Engineer District and the Harris County (Texas) Flood Control District have announced the approval of additional funds and a schedule extension for the Buffalo Bayou and Tributaries Resiliency Study (BBTRS). The approval provides an additional $1.8 million in federal funds and extends the study for an additional 26 months, bringing the total federal funding to $7.8 million with a scheduled completion date of December 10, 2023. In addition to the federal funding, the flood control district-the study's non-federal sponsor- will contribute technical services in support of the study, using $3,367 million in funds provided by Harris County Commissioner Precincts 3 and 4. "We are very committed to this important, monumental project and we have heard the public's feedback," said Col. Tim Vail, Galveston District commander. "We continue to encourage the public to use community resources to reduce flooding and build local and regional partnerships toward resilience and recovery. At the same time, the Galveston District will continue to work toward a solution that works for the citizens of Harris County." |
