Almost a year after Harvey dropped a trillion gallons of water across the Greater Houston area last August, Harris County is petitioning voters for a $2.5 billion bond referendum, which would fund flood control projects across the region and raise property tax rates if approved by voters Aug. 25. The bond referendum proposes funding for the Harris County Flood Control District to complete projects across the county. While the proposed list of projects included in the multibillion dollar bond package was updated Aug. 1, the project list is expected to be finalized by Monday at the latest, county officials said Tuesday. The list will not be officially submitted to commissioners court until the Aug. 14 meeting, however. The bond referendum includes $1 billion for matching funds necessary to receive $3 billion from the U.S. government as well as $1.5 billion reserved for additional funding matches or flood prevention projects, according to county officials. Therefore, in total, HCFCD would have $5.5 billion to work with for flood prevention projects over the next 15 years. Early voting for the bond referendum is set to begin Aug. 8, and election day is set for Aug. 25. Residents can continue to submit feedback for each watershed online this week.
