What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Harris County officials are concerned that a one-year extension may not be enough time to complete 11 flood control projects, which were funded by over $300 million in grants received three years ago. The Texas General Land Office, which oversees the grant money, sent a letter detailing its concerns about the county's execution. Commissioner Adrian Garcia delayed a presentation to Commissioner's Court because the necessary full details were not provided by the county's executive director.
