Officials celebrate Cypress Stitch groundbreaking and $54 million in funding
Summary
Council liaison Jackie Georgio said Bellaire marked a groundbreaking for the Cypress Stitch project and secured $54,000,000 in funding; state and federal partners attended and staff continue to pursue additional federal funding.
During the liaison report, Jackie Georgio described the Cypress Stitch groundbreaking as a major milestone and said local, state and federal representatives attended. Georgio said the project has secured $54,000,000 in funding and credited local and state champions for helping assemble the package; she added staff will continue pursuing further federal resources.
"We got 54,000,000," Georgio said, noting representatives including U.S. Rep. Lizzie Fletcher and Houston councilmembers participated in the event. Georgio said the funding and accompanying momentum reflect the city taking the initial steps that encouraged other governments to contribute support.
The liaison also flagged smaller project wins (for example, support for an EMS truck) and encouraged commissioners to watch for related council actions and opportunities to engage.
