Val Verde County commissioners voted unanimously to approve a $1 million Colonia project allocation for 2026 during their Jan. 16 meeting.
The judge and commissioners identified the item as the larger ($1 million) Colonia project option and moved forward with the funding authorization. Commissioner Flores made the motion and it was seconded; the court approved the allocation by voice vote.
Court members said the project is part of ongoing infrastructure efforts the county has already prioritized. Specific project details beyond the funding approval (project scope, schedule or contractor) were not specified during the item and will be returned to the court for implementation steps.
What’s next: Staff will bring more detailed project plans, budgets and any procurement steps to a future meeting for review and formal approval.
