New details have been revealed about what's going on with a different elevation grant, this one in Nassau Bay.
According to Jason Reynolds, the city manager for Nassau Bay, contracts have been severed with Titan/Absolute.
Homeowners made the decision to severe ties with Titan/Absolute, and now, the city is working with homeowners to make sure the homes are taken care of.
The city is working solely with a bonding company to come up with a solution.
Nassau Bay operates differently than Houston. Nassau Bay requires money to go into escrow before work is started.
Only two homes were involved with Titan/Absolute as part of the grant. At this point, Titan never pulled a permit.
Titan has received no money from the state or city.
Channel 2 is reaching out to homeowners to find out why they canceled the contracts.
