Drainage Grant Opportunity Needs Your Participation

 Dear Citizens of Vidor,

The City has an opportunity coming up to apply for a grant that could make a big difference in drainage projects for the City.

We must have citizen participation by completing a survey. The problem is we must have 80% of our homeowners complete the survey. If we can meet the requirements (including these surveys), the City could possibly receive millions of dollars for flood and drainage improvements that we otherwise could never afford. We will have the survey available at city offices (Library, Sanitation, Police Department, City Website, Facebook, etc.)

This is a huge opportunity for the city to be able to improve drainage for our citizens, for example city wide ditch improvements, culverts, and retention ponds just to name a few. Please help us by filling out a survey form and getting your family and neighbors to do so as well.

This is your opportunity to help the city get these projects funded. Please click or tap one of the links below to get started.

Thank you for your help.
