The Houston-Galveston region is home to a dynamic economy, leading Texas in recovery, growth and development. According to 2016 census data, 6.7 million people call the 8-county region home, with an estimated 400,000 commuting in from out-of-region for work.
Transportation maintenance and expansion projects designed to accommodate the region’s needs are essential to the economic health of the region, but how can we mitigate the impact of those projects on the region’s water quality?
This workshop will be held on Tuesday, March 28, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM at the Houston-Galveston Area Council, Conference Rooms B and C (second floor).
Speakers from the Texas Department of Transportation, Houston-Galveston Area Council, and Harris County Engineering Department will provide participants with greater understanding of how environmental factors such as water quality are incorporated into transportation project planning and implementation.
Following each presentation, attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions and further delve into the topic area. For additional information or assistance, e-mail Kathy.Janhsen@h-gac.com or call 713-993-2423.
