Lawmakers propose a study to help Texas understand flood protection costs. The Texas Water Development Board will work with state agencies, local governments, and federal partners to map where flood infrastructure is expensive to build, identify what drives those costs, and recommend ways to help communities pay for protection. When we show up together, our community becomes more connected, more resilient, and more powerful.
