Public comment concludes for city’s floodplain-located improvements

The City of Bandera has concluded a public comment period for a proposed downtown improvement project that is partially located within a designated floodplain.

According to a public notice posted at City Hall, the city determined that the proposed project, funded through the Texas Community Development Block Grant Program, is located within both the 100-year and 500-year floodplain.

Because of its location, the project is subject to federal floodplain management requirements, which require the city to evaluate alternative locations and assess potential impacts to the floodplain.
