    Feb. 22, 2024 (Houston Style Magazine) — The Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD) is committed to prioritizing flood risk reduction efforts to protect communities against the devastating impact of flooding. As part of this ongoing initiative, HCFCD is pleased to announce a virtual community engagement meeting for the Kingwood Diversion Ditch Flood Risk Reduction Project. This critical project aims to enhance flood resilience through channel conveyance improvements in the Kingwood Diversion Ditch and Bens Branch areas in Northeast Harris County.

A Bond Project Focused on Flood Mitigation

Project G103-38-00-E001, also known as Bond Project F-14, is a vital component of the 2018 Bond Program approved by Harris County voters on August 25, 2018. Additionally, the project receives support from federal community directed funding, highlighting the collaborative efforts to address flood risks in our communities. Community engagement is at the heart of the Bond Program, and your input is invaluable as we work towards implementing impactful flood mitigation projects.
