Harvey Flood Projects Lag Behind

Eight years after Hurricane Harvey, a $2.5 billion flood control bond is still stuck in slow motion—75 critical projects won’t even start construction until next year, with some not breaking ground until 2033. Community advocates call it inexcusable, comparing it to a CEO failing to meet deadlines while federal funds hang in the balance. Though the district claims 80% of the bond will be spent by 2028, new leadership may finally push things forward—though for many, the pace feels like a snail’s crawl after a disaster that changed everything.
