City Council awards $3.4M street maintenance project to Clark Construction

The Victoria City Council made significant strides in enhancing local infrastructure during their recent meeting on April 15, 2025. A key decision was the approval of a $3.4 million contract for the 2025 Residential Street Maintenance Project, aimed at improving nearly 9 miles of roads across various neighborhoods.

The council awarded the project to Clark Construction of Texas, which was selected from two proposals received. The maintenance work will include a combination of chip seal applications and more extensive repairs in areas like the Acres subdivision, Boulevard addition, and North Heights addition. Construction is set to begin in May and is expected to be completed by October, reflecting the city’s commitment to maintaining safe and drivable roads for residents.

In addition to road maintenance, the council also discussed the allocation of additional funds to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Regional Mitigation Program. The city plans to commit over $2 million to enhance its existing allocation of nearly $19.5 million from the Texas General Land Office. This funding is crucial for ongoing community development and disaster mitigation efforts, ensuring that the city is better prepared for future challenges.

These decisions underscore the council's dedication to improving the quality of life for Victoria residents through infrastructure investment and proactive community planning. As the city moves forward with these projects, residents can expect safer streets and enhanced community resilience in the face of potential disasters.
