Rural communities across South Texas face a pivotal infrastructure moment. Aging water, wastewater, and stormwater systems, combined with limited technical and financial capacity, are creating persistent risks to public health, safety, and economic stability. Many rural areas exemplify the regional challenges of deteriorating drainage networks, groundwater depletion, and flood vulnerability intensified by extreme weather.

Join us for a workshop on how local governments can access technical assistance and federal dollars for wet infrastructure. The event will also feature keynote remarks by Senator Adam Hinojosa, Senate District 27.

The resources explored during this workshop will equip municipal leaders and partners with key funding sources, technical assistance, and collaboration opportunities to strengthen resilience, modernize infrastructure, and build a more sustainable future for rural South Texas.
