Coastal Resiliency Planning and Stakeholder Coordination

Hollaway has played an integral role in nearly every major coastal planning project in the state of Texas, working side by side with entities such as USACE, GLO, TPWD, TWDB, TxDOT, Harris County/HCFCD, and the GCCPRD to promote inter-agency collaboration, engage with the public/stakeholders, build consensus, and advance integrated resiliency efforts.

No other firm has Hollaway’s depth of involvement and breadth of understanding across the various complimentary programs advancing coastal resiliency efforts in Texas.
