(Seguin) – A total of $37.8 million in infrastructure changes are coming to a local neighborhood near you.
Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush has announced that the Texas General Land Office (GLO) has approved a total of more than $47.8 million in flood mitigation projects to improve water, wastewater and drainage infrastructure in Guadalupe County.
City of Seguin officials say these infrastructure projects will directly benefit thousands of residents in majority low-to-moderate income (LMI) areas that have faced repetitive storm damage in 2015 and in 2017 with Hurricane Harvey.
They say the city of Seguin experiences flooding during local heavy rainfall events and due to impacts of hurricanes and tropical storms. The flooding and extreme runoff, they say, results in road closures, flooding of homes, damaged infrastructure and severe erosion that must be repaired to reduce risk of damage to public and private buildings.
