Victoria County officials told residents Aug. 4 that GrantWorks will conduct door-to-door surveys in the Bloomington area to gather household information needed to qualify the area for a Texas Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) sewer improvement project.

Robin (unnamed in the transcript) announced the door-to-door outreach and advised residents that the courthouse, the County Judge's Office, Engineering and Development, or the precinct foreman can verify surveyors’ identities. County staff later confirmed a payment request to Lynn Engineering for $12,375 tied to CDBG application work for the Bloomington sewer improvements; court documents provided to commissioners and the auditor’s office were described as having been reviewed and approved for payment.

The court approved the Lynn Engineering payment by motion and voice vote. No formal grant award was recorded in this meeting; the survey work and engineering invoice were described as preparatory steps toward possible construction if the area qualifies for CDBG funding.
