Weslaco Pursues Federal Funding for Major Drainage Projects
· Texas Border Business
Weslaco is actively seeking federal funding for three significant drainage projects, with Mayor Adrian Gonzalez advocating for $30 to $33 million in Washington, D.C. The projects, which include the Plaza, Agostadero, and Paisano drainage systems, aim to alleviate chronic flooding in the city. Gonzalez highlighted the importance of the Paisano project due to its connection to his childhood neighborhood. The city is preparing engineering plans to ensure these projects are 'shovel ready' and has engaged 19 engineering firms to expedite the design process. Collaboration with local and state agencies is also underway to enhance drainage efficiency.
