Baytown recovery moves into long term phase after Harvey
City officials say Baytown has recovered well but faces long term work including returning 4 500 Harvey affected households to homes and extending temporary structure permits to six months starting September 1. About 70 homeowners remain in RVs or mobile homes awaiting repairs while FEMA funds and United Way assistance are available. Harris County reports near 97 million in emergency repairs needed to return bayous to pre Harvey levels amid debris clearance and projects funded by a 2 5 billion bond.
