  • Letter of Support - City of Humble

    Houston, TX
    Other

    The City of Humble sent a letter of support to Governor Greg Abbott on March 29, 2023, requesting state funding for the Lake Houston Dam Spillway Improvement Project. The city urged the preservation of $150 million in funding for the design and construction of new flood control gates as outlined in Senate Bill 1, Article 11, arguing that local drainage mitigation efforts have been exhausted and state-level action is necessary to prevent future flooding similar to Hurricane Harvey. Mayor Norman Funderburk emphasized that the city and regional partners have fulfilled their responsibilities and called on the state to follow through on its post-Harvey commitments to protect Humble's residents and businesses.

Key stakeholders identified include the City of Houston, Coastal Water Authority, Harris County Flood Control District, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, with project benefits measured through a FEMA benefit-cost ratio exceeding 1.0 based on reduced water surface elevation, decreased building flooding, and lessened societal impacts.
