🌧️ Stormwater drainage may not always be visible, but it plays a critical role in protecting homes, businesses and roadways throughout Victoria.

If you missed the recent town hall about the proposed stormwater drainage utility fee, this short PSA provides an overview of why the fee is being considered and how it could help fund drainage maintenance, repairs and future improvements across the city. 🚧 💧

👷 Electrical, plumbing and HVAC jobs are some of the most in-demand jobs in the region.

That’s why we’re excited to announce the recent $150,000 grant award for skilled job training programs! The grant funds from the Texas Workforce Commission will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the Victoria Sales Tax Development Corporation and awarded to a partnership of local organizations: Mid Coast Construction Academy, Victoria College, Victoria ISD, and Workforce Solutions Golden Crescent.

📜 In addition, Mayor Duane Crocker recently issued a proclamation recognizing the role of apprenticeship programs in building and sustaining a skilled workforce, as the City of Victoria continues to support workforce development as part of the Growing Victoria initiative.

Our dedicated Victoria Parks and Recreation crews have nearly finished their 2nd spray of the city in the past two weeks! Here’s the plan for this weekend (weather permitting):
🦟 Saturday morning: Zones 13, 16, 17 and parts of 18
🦟 Sunday morning: Zones 10, 14 and the rest of 18
Remember that the crews can only spray on public roadways, so it’s very important that residents help to prevent mosquitos on their own properties! Using mosquito dunks and pouring out standing water are great ways to stop mosquitos in their tiny tracks.
🦟 Learn more about the City’s mosquito management practices: https://www.victoriatx.gov/1055/Integrated-Mosquito-Management-Program
As a reminder, Parks & Recreation only handles spraying within city limits. For county residents, visit https://www.vcphd.org/page/health.environ.mosquito.control
