All projects included within C-41 will make improvements to the main stem of Halls Bayou.

This project is part of the Watershed-Wide Project Implementation Program for Halls Bayou.

Location

The exact location of the stormwater detention basin is to be determined.

Stage

This project is currently in the Design stage.

Bond Project Listing

Bond Project C-41 is a potential “Partnership” project. Total allocation for all projects listed under Bond Project C-41 is currently almost $155 million, of which approximately $151.1 million is partnership funding and approximately $3.5 million is local costs.

Additionally, the Flood Control District has been aggressively pursuing multiple grant opportunities, including a grant application to the Texas General Land Office (GLO) for Community Development Block Grant for Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) funding in October 2020 in the amount of about approximately $14.7 million for Phase II of this project. While that specific application was not awarded, as of December 2021, Harris County is continuing to work with the GLO on a potential $750 million commitment of CDBG-MIT funding for flood risk reduction projects across Harris County.
