Description
Description | The South Shore Drainage Project in Galveston is a $54.3 million flood mitigation project funded by a Community Development Block Grant-Mitigation award. The project involves building a pump station, replacing undersized storm sewer lines, and improving drainage in one of Galveston's most flood-prone neighborhoods. The project has faced delays due to utility conflicts, easement acquisition, and unexpected underground conditions, with construction about 10% complete and projected substantial completion in April or May 2028. The Texas General Land Office has denied the city's request for a two-year extension and has required a recovery plan to meet the January 31, 2027 deadline. |
