In this edition of The Oller Edge, we’re highlighting key funding opportunities, introducing the kickoff of an exciting new project—the Kilgore–Davis Trail—and looking ahead to the Galveston Economic Development Partnership Summit on October 29. We invite you to explore how OEI’s services can support your community.

Maximizing Opportunities

Unlock AMPSS Funding Before Sept. 8: How OEI Can Help You Get Ahead

The AMPSS application window closes September 8 at 5:00 pm CDT. Eligible water and wastewater systems—those serving fewer than 10,000 people with under 5,000 connections—can access up to $100,000 of no-cost technical assistance for asset management plans, O&M manuals, and more. OEI simplifies the process with full application support, from confirming eligibility to coordinating with pre-qualified contractors—so you don’t miss this chance to position your agency for success.

Trailblazing Progress

Project Spotlight: Kilgore-Davis Trail Project

OEI is excited to partner with League City on the new Kilgore-Davis Trail, a project that will feature boardwalks and overlooks along Clear Lake. These enhancements will provide residents with greater access to natural habitats, offering spaces for strolling, reflection, and enjoying local wildlife. OEI is leading design efforts and preparing the project for the next stage of permitting with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Follow along on our social channels for more project updates soon!
