Hurricane Dolly Disaster Recovery - Lower Rio Grande Valley

This program was led by the Lower Rio Grande Valley Development Council with grant money administered by the General Land Office of Texas. The purpose of the program was to help residents in Cameron, Hidalgo, and Willacy counties rebuild after the devastating effects of Hurricane Dolly in 2008.

The hurricane season of 2008 affected all of the coastal regions of Texas. In the Lower Rio Grande Valley, floodwaters forced entire neighborhoods to evacuate.
