Progreso leaders push for drainage upgrade following recent rain
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Progreso city officials are reassessing their drainage system following recent heavy rains that caused flooding in parts of the Rio Grande Valley. They noted that the city's growth has surpassed the capabilities of the infrastructure established 40 years ago. Plans include constructing three retention ponds, with a state grant application already submitted. Mayor Pro Tem Sandra Estrada emphasized the need for updates, stating that the existing system from 1985 is no longer sufficient. The city aims to identify areas needing new drainage solutions, as previous assessments have not been conducted. A response to the grant application is expected by the end of the month.
