County reports $5 million GLO grant for final phase of Adolph Tomy Park living‑shoreline project
Summary
Parks staff said the General Land Office awarded the county $5,000,000 to complete the final phase of the living‑shoreline restoration at Adolph Tomy Park; plans will go to commissioners' court for approval of 100% designs before GLO procurement.
Parks staff announced the county received $5,000,000 from the General Land Office to continue the living‑shoreline restoration at Adolph Tomy Park and complete the final phase of the project.
"We recently received $5,000,000 to complete the last phase of the living shoreline," a parks official said, adding the item will appear on commissioners' court to approve 100% plans before the county forwards plans to the GLO for final procurement. Staff said earlier phases used hard structures; later phases emphasized habitat benches and habitat improvements.
The official described the GLO as the partner that handles procurement for the work once the county approves plans. Committee members encouraged sharing details with the city once commissioners' court acts.
