The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) gave the Kingsland chamber a $25,000 grant to go towards fixing their community park that got swept entirely away during devastating flooding more than a year ago.
Since that destructive event, the community has been rebuilding especially the park.
It’s the only public place to launch and take out boats on Lake LBJ for miles.
This park isn’t funded through taxes; its upkeep is on the local chamber.
Since the flooding, there have been many improvements to the park, but the work is not over yet.
On top of the grant, the LCRA also plans to lower the water levels of Lake LBJ on January 2nd. This will allow people still dealing with the 2018 flood to fix docks and clear debris. They plan to raise the water back at the end of February.
