Baleme EDC Approves Funds for Texas Water Development Board Grant Application

The Baleme Economic Development Corporation authorized the city manager to expend up to $29,600 for professional services and project-related costs to prepare and submit an application to the Texas Water Development Board funding program. The goal is to secure up to a $21 million zero-match grant for water supply improvements, addressing current needs and potential future shortfalls. The funds will cover study preparation, engineering, inspection, and management, with a focus on retrofitting and strategically improving the city's water wells and supply system. Even if the grant is not obtained, the study will provide a long-term master plan for water infrastructure.
