BLANCO GARDENS
After the devastating All Saints Flood and Memorial Day Flood of 2015, flood mitigation is at the top of the minds of all San Marcans. According to information provided by the city of San Marcos, it secured funding from Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery and Mitigation programs through federal support from the U.S. Depart- ment of Housing and Urban Development, which was partially used to complete drainage improvements at Blanco Gardens. The city of San Marcos hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony last week to celebrate the completion of the Blanco Gardens Drainage Improvements.
Sean Condor, San Marcos Engineering and Capital Improvements director, said due to the significant floods of 2015, the city of San Marcos received Community Development Block Grant Funding: $33.79 million in 2016 and $24.09 million in 2019.
