Weslaco – In result of June’s devastating flood in the Rio Grande Valley, Hidalgo County plans on improving drainage with a bond you’ll be able to vote for in November. Our reporter Ileana Moreno brings you the details.
A nearly $200,000,000 drainage bond has been approved to be on the November ballot following the devastating flood that happened in June.
$20 million dollars of the drainage bond would be allocated to the Raymondville drainage project designed to take water from the western Hidalgo county straight into Laguna Madre.
Hidalgo County commissioners say they want to ensure flooding like that doesn’t happened again.
