ReBuild Houston Initiative is the City of Houston’s plan to rebuild the city’s drainage and street infrastructure in order to improve the quality of life and mobility for residents of the city through drainage and street improvements and maintenance.

Proposition 1, which was approved by Houston voters on November 2, 2010, required an amendment to the city charter. To support this amendment, the City is in the process of establishing a dedicated, pay-as-you-go fund to help maintain and improve the city's drainage and street infrastructure, and to plan upgrades to meet future needs as the city grows. 

FY 2012 Annual Operating Budget Capital Improvement Plan

During the months of February and March the City of Houston will conduct combined public meetings on the City’s FY2012 Annual Operating Budget Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and 2012 Annual Consolidated Plan.  These meetings provide citizens the opportunity to participate in the budget process by contributing comments and suggestions about needed services and improvements. Download the complete meeting schedule here.
