HOUSTON – At Thursday’s Harris County Commissioners Court, officials revealed the county will be coming up short on its plans tied to the 2018 $2.5 billion bond focused on flood prevention.

A total of 15 projects that have not yet broken down are closed for now. 26 more projects that have started are being put on hold. The county said 75 projects that are under construction will be completed, but also made it clear that 54 are officially done.

The completion of those under construction will be three to five years, well after the 10 year anniversary of Harvey.
