Galveston County’s recovery from Hurricane Ike is well under way, but there remains a great deal of work to be done.
Grant funds are arriving soon, and many projects will be undertaken to improve infrastructure and housing to help our communities weather the next storm.

One very special project is the Bolivar Blueprint, a long-term recovery initiative that will help the severely impacted peninsula residents chart a better future. A Steering Committee, Technical Committee and multiple subcommittees conducted a number of meetings, including public outreach, to launch the Blueprint process between February and May.

A team from FEMA provided technical assistance and helped the county produce a draft Blueprint document that explains the process, offers alternate routes for the development of various community-driven projects, and includes comments from many citizens about how to proceed.

Citizens are encouraged to download the document and stay involved in recovery efforts for Bolivar Peninsula. Please visit our web site regularly for updates and meeting notices.
