The Bryan City Council is set to meet on Tuesday evening, with several items on their agenda. One of the key topics of discussion will be the 2023 Floodplain Mitigation Plan, aimed at advancing projects to lowering flood risks and reducing losses for homeowners. The city believes that this plan will not only enhance the Community Rating System (CRS) rating but also lead to lower flood insurance costs for residents. Another agenda item will revolve around the approval of the Fiscal Year 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program, with a total budget of $210 million. This list of potential projects includes the construction of new ball fields at Midtown Park, a $6 million investment in a state-of-the-art animal shelter, and substantial street and drainage improvements, among others. The proposed Fiscal Year 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program list can be found below.
