Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham, M.D., announced the Texas General Land Office approved $31,832,572 in regional mitigation funds to improve communications, streets, drainage and sewer systems in the cities of Hallettsville, Hearne, Madisonville, Conroe, and La Grange as well as Robertson, Colorado, Sabine and San Augustine counties. Through the Regional Mitigation Program, the GLO enabled local prioritization, which will have a tremendous impact across multiple regions.
“The GLO is proud to work with communities to improve vital services such as drainage, communications, and water systems to benefit the lives of Texans every day,” Commissioner Buckingham said, “As recent storms have demonstrated, improving drainage and communications systems is vital to protecting lives, homes and businesses. While federal funding is complicated, the GLO is dedicated to helping local leaders cut bureaucratic red tape to deliver these resources to make Texas communities more resilient against future disasters.”
