Public-private partnership alleviates overused aquifer

Houston First Corp., which owns and operates the George R. Brown Convention Center, has installed three mobile units of a new coronavirus-killing air purifier in the center’s new 5,250-sq-ft broadcast facility.  

A $185-million project will use thermal energy from nearby sewer pipelines to heat and cool seven buildings on a new 250-acre academic campus in Denver.

Plan calls for deepening the river from Baton Rouge to the Gulf to 50 ft., from 45 ft. now.
