Letter of Support - North Houston Association

AI Summary

The North Houston Association, a regional organization representing 150 member businesses, wrote to Governor Greg Abbott on April 24, 2023, requesting state funding support for the Lake Houston Spillway Dam Improvement Project being considered under Senate Bill 1, Article XL. The project, which aims to add flood control gates to allow rapid water management during weather events, has secured $48 million in federal funding and a $30 million local match from the City of Houston, but requires additional state resources to proceed. The Association emphasized that the project is essential for regional flood control and would enable coordinated operation between Lake Houston and Lake Conroe during critical situations.
