Engineering the Future of Weslaco Through Planning and Accountability
· Texas Border Business
Weslaco is prioritizing long-term engineering and planning to improve its infrastructure, according to Mayor Adrian Gonzalez. The city is moving away from temporary fixes for flooding issues and has engaged 19 engineering firms to design sustainable projects. Gonzalez emphasized the need for solutions that last 15 to 20 years, with an estimated investment of over $100 million needed for drainage improvements. He noted that projects will be fully engineered and ready for construction once funding is secured. Public cooperation is crucial, as residents are encouraged to avoid illegal dumping that can obstruct drainage systems.
