Background and Discussion:
Hurricane Harvey (August 25, 2018) caused severe and extreme flooding to homes, businesses, and community facilities through the project area. Many of these homes and facilities have experienced repetitive flooding in past disasters and heavy rain events. This project will improve storm water management capacity to serve the adjacent flood-prone neighborhoods and relieve transportation congestion along the corridor and surrounding areas.
Expected Impact:
The goal of improving Holderrieth Road is to achieve a level of service to meet current and future traffic volumes, reduce delays, and reduce structural flooding of adjacent residences, businesses, and schools.
Alternative Options:
An alternative option would be to not construct the project resulting in the loss of $18.2 M in allocated grant funding and approximately $3.2 M previously spent on the design, ROW and other fees.

_ Economic Opportunity
