Perfect Venue To Raise Flood Concerns
While the town hall meeting will cover far more than flooding issues, many people will be there who can address flooding concerns.
For instance:
- Council Member Flickinger and Dan Huberty (now a member of the Coastal Water Authority board) can answer questions about the Lake Houston Dam, including repairs, replacement and the addition of gates.
- State Rep. Charles Cunningham can answer questions about the new Lake Houston Dredging and Maintenance District, the TCEQ, sand mines, a river-basin-wide flood-control district, and more.
- San Jacinto River Authority can answer your questions about lake lowering, sand traps, and joint-reservoir-operations (Lake Conroe/Lake Houston) and the near miss thousands of us had in the May Day flood of 2024.
- Texas General Land Office is managing the distribution of more than $850 million in US Department of Housing and Urban Development Disaster Relief and Flood Mitigation funds in the Houston area. That includes $42 million for the Taylor Gully channel improvements and Woodridge Village detention basins.
- Lake Houston Redevelopment Authority can discuss its reconstruction of Northpark Drive, and what will become the first all-weather evacuation route from Kingwood.
Questions Work Two Ways
So, submit your questions now. They will help you understand what’s going on. And they will communicate your concerns to leaders.
As Council Member Flickinger said, “Your questions, concerns, and ideas are invaluable in guiding the decisions that impact our neighborhood and quality of life.”
