Why it matters
This project helps protect northwest Harris County homes and businesses from flooding while also protecting our environment. When we build flood control systems, we must replace any wetlands that get disturbed to keep nature balanced.
If this passes
Flood protection gets built in northwest Harris County while wetlands are restored elsewhere. Families get better protection from flooding during storms.
If this does not pass
The flood control project cannot move forward, leaving northwest Harris County communities at higher risk during heavy rains and hurricanes.
