Harris County approved a $296,596 contract with Omega Engineers for drainage improvements on Green River Drive in Precinct 1. This professional engineering project will design and plan flood prevention infrastructure to protect our neighborhoods from water damage. Drainage improvements matter because flooding affects our homes, businesses, and daily travel. When storms hit Harris County, poor drainage can flood streets, damage property, and make roads unsafe. These engineering services will create better water management systems that keep our communities dry and safe. The project impacts residents along Green River Drive and surrounding areas in Precinct 1. Better drainage means fewer flooded streets during heavy rain, which protects our property values and keeps emergency vehicles moving. The county set a goal for 19.51% participation by minority and women-owned businesses, ensuring our tax dollars support local diverse contractors. Harris County Commissioners Court passed this contract on May 14, 2026, after careful review. This shows our local government working to solve real problems that affect our daily lives.
