Background and Discussion:

Harris County Precinct 3 proposes to improve drainage systems in the Cypress Place Subdivision by installing approximately 6,720 linear feet of underground storm sewer, increasing the size of driveway culverts, and regrading ditches. Construction will include the installation of manholes, junction boxes, inlets, and completion of associated appurtenances.

 

Expected Impact:

Of these persons, 95 persons, or 79.83%, are of low to moderate income and utilizes $1,792,863.00 in 2017 Harvey CDBG-DR Round One Funds.

 

Alternative Options:
