Weslaco Pursues Federal Funding for Major Drainage Projects
· Texas Border Business
Weslaco Mayor Adrian Gonzalez announced the city's pursuit of federal funding for three key drainage projects aimed at reducing flooding. During a recent meeting, residents highlighted areas affected by heavy rains, prompting city officials to prioritize these infrastructure improvements. Gonzalez recently visited Washington, D.C., seeking $30 to $33 million for the Plaza, Agostadero, and Paisano projects. The Paisano project is particularly meaningful to him as it serves his childhood neighborhood. The city plans to self-fund the design if federal assistance is not secured soon. Weslaco is collaborating with various agencies to enhance drainage systems and ensure effective stormwater management.
