Bexar County has already allocated millions for flood projects, including $21 million for a flood warning system. Commissioner Justin Rodriguez noted that increased intense storms and development expansion are contributing to rising flooding incidents in areas like the Jefferson-Woodlawn Lake area. The study will help identify risks associated with growth on the Northwest Side of Bexar County.
