The Houston Texans aging, next-door neighbor in the Astrodome will be getting a face-lift over the next two years after a smothering majority of the Harris County Commissioner’s Court passed legislation to fund the renovations of the 53-year-old building yesterday.
So how much is this project going to cost? The package that was approved was for $105 million. One-third of the funding will come from property tax revenues and the remaining 67 percent will come from hotel occupancy taxes and parking revenues that the county collects.
