Weslaco Mayor Adrian Gonzalez is actively seeking state and federal funding to expedite crucial infrastructure projects, particularly for the city's drainage strategy, which he estimates will cost over $100 million. In a recent interview, Gonzalez highlighted the necessity of external financial support, especially after his trip to Washington, D.C., where he discussed funding for three priority drainage projects: Plaza, Agostadero, and Paisano. By completing engineering work ahead of time, Weslaco aims to make projects 'shovel-ready' for grant opportunities.
