Since Hurricane Harvey flooded The Centrum with 3.5 feet of water in August 2017, restoration work continues on the performing arts center and church sanctuary more than two years later.

According to Bruce Frogge, Cypress Creek Christian Church senior minister, as of late October the church had applied for a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant to cover restoration efforts and was waiting for FEMA to return the final scope of work so the church could put out for construction bids.

While Norma Lowrey, Cypress Creek Christian Community Center executive director, said she is unsure how long it will take to get the scope of work back from FEMA, she is hoping to go out for construction bids by the end of 2019.

Although no projected reopening date for The Centrum has been announced, church officials said they are ready to go out for bids as soon as the scope of work returns.
