The City of Jersey Village has been honored with the Maintenance Achievement Award by the Texas Recreation and Parks Society (TRAPS) for the Jersey Meadow Golf Club Berm Project. This prestigious award, presented during the TRAPS annual conference held in Allen, Texas, recognizes creativity and innovation in solving unique maintenance challenges within parks and recreational facilities.
The Jersey Meadow Berm Project exemplifies innovative use of the city owned golf course, transforming it into an effective flood mitigation solution. By creatively using the golf course's green space to serve as a retention area, the project has significantly enhanced the community’s flood protection while maintaining the aesthetics and functionality of the course.
Receiving this award underscores the city's commitment to finding practical and innovative solutions to community challenges. It is a testament to the city's dedication to improving quality of life while effectively managing natural resources and infrastructure.
This recognition from TRAPS marks the second major award the berm project has received, demonstrating how impactful thoughtful, community-focused engineering projects can be for our city.
