District Considers $99M Flood Project with Federal Funds on School Property
📅 October 27, 2026
The board is reviewing a proposal from the City of Houston for a $99 million underground flood detention vault to be built on the Memorial Middle School campus. The project is primarily funded by a federal FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) grant of up to $74 million, with the district contributing the land. This represents a significant inter-governmental agreement leveraging federal funds for local infrastructure, which will impact school property and future construction plans.
