Houston's $75M flood relief proposal at Memorial Middle School raises concerns among neighbors
A proposed $75 million flood relief project at Spring Branch ISD's Memorial Middle School is drawing questions from neighbors about how construction could affect their homes, nearby streets and school activities. Houston Public Works is planning a $75 million flood relief project at Spring Branch ISD's Memorial Middle School. The TIRZ 17 Memorial City Area Detention Basin project aims to reduce flood risk for over 1,600 structures and includes underground stormwater storage on the north end of the school property. The detention system would temporarily store stormwater during heavy rain and release it gradually to reduce flooding on streets and around buildings. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2027 and finish in summer 2029. Additional project goals include improving roadway safety and pedestrian access while preserving as many trees as possible. Concerns have been raised about construction traffic, the project's effect on flooding and potential disruptions to school activities. A community meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Oct. 27.
