Dry Creek Flood and Drainage Mitigation Projects
Rosenberg
Summary
The $47.5 million flood mitigation program is nearly done — six projects including detention ponds and channel improvements that should cut flooding on Lane Drive, at the Avenue N/Graeber intersection, and along Dry Creek. About $10 million of planned work was cut for budget, and the council wants staff to apply for new grants to finish it.

The grant covered $47.5 million; finishing the cut work would take roughly $10 million more, hopefully from a new grant with about a 10% local match.
