GLO allocates $58.3M for regional mitigation program projects

AUSTIN – The Texas General Land Office (GLO) approved $58,350,140 in regional mitigation funds for infrastructure improvements across the state.

Recipients include Brazos, Calhoun, Coryell, Refugio, and San Jacinto counties, as well as the cities of Bishop, Dickinson, Gonzales, and Round Top.

Projects include road, drainage, sewer, and water system upgrades, with major allocations such as $15.76 million for Dickinson County and $14.19 million for San Jacinto County.

The funding comes from the GLO’s Regional Mitigation Program, which distributes $1.17 billion in HUD Community Development Block Grant Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) funds to reduce disaster risks.

At least 50 percent of funds must benefit low-to-moderate-income individuals.
