Seadrift Council approves HUD funds for sewer extension plan
Seadrift city council approved filing a full Community Development Act application to extend the sewer system with HUD funds. Councilman Joe Haynie resigned at a special hearing, requesting a replacement for his unexpired term. Attorney Tom Garner outlined potential grant prospects, noting only about 12 of 57 counties’ cities may win portions of a $3.4 million pool. The plan prioritizes sewer work to serve 32 unserved homes, with drainage and a later community center. A map of low income and minority populations will be developed for eligibility, while a rate ordinance with Houston Natural Gas remains unresolved due to possible future tariff changes.
