KINGSVILLE, Texas — Kingsville is getting some much-needed flood protection thanks to the Texas General Land Office.
A groundbreaking held this morning marks the beginning of more than $36 million in drainage improvement projects across the city.
The site of today's ceremony is one of 14 locations across Kingsville that will receive improvements to help eliminate the threat of flooding.
Open drainage ditches will be replaced by an underground drainage system as part of the extensive project.
The city also received a $7 million grant from the GLO for sewage improvements.
Kingsville has historically experienced significant flooding during heavy rainfall, a problem these projects aim to solve.
