Hi Gray,
Houston-area developers, engineers, and real estate professionals were among the most vocal supporters of last summer's $2.5 billion Harris County flood bond, the largest storm infrastructure investment in county history.
They contributed to a political action committee established by bond backers and helped shepherd the initiative to passage on the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Harvey, the devastating 2017 storm that flooded more than 204,000 homes and apartments in Harris County.
For the past several months, however, many of those players quietly have lobbied Houston and Harris County officials to delay implementation of new building rules developers say will increase housing costs but county engineers insist are needed to protect neighborhoods from future storms. #Houston
