Harris County Commissioners Court approved a contract change with Reytec Construction Resources for drainage improvements in Aldine Village Subdivision. This project addresses flooding problems that affect families and businesses in Precinct 2. The contract amendment keeps the same dollar amount but adjusts project details to better serve our community. The project exceeded its diversity goals, with 25.20% participation from minority and women-owned businesses, beating the 18% target. This matters because good drainage protects our homes, schools, and roads from flood damage. When water flows properly, our neighborhoods stay safer during heavy rains. The Aldine area has faced flooding challenges, so these improvements help families avoid costly water damage and keep kids' schools accessible during storms. The project creates local jobs and supports small businesses owned by women and people of color. Harris County uses our tax dollars to hire diverse contractors who understand our community's needs. For updates on this drainage work or other infrastructure projects in Precinct 2, contact Kerrington Blow at Kerrington.Blow@harriscountytx.gov. You can also attend Commissioners Court meetings to speak about drainage concerns in your neighborhood. These meetings happen regularly and give residents a voice in how we spend public money on flood protection.
