Off the Grid with John Palacio

Aug. 5, 2026

Meet John Palacio, a lead governmental affairs rep, who teaches a group of kids from churches across Texas how to build decks and awnings for families in need.

Alongside his young crew, he shows up with a few tools and a lot of heart, turning hands-on lessons into decks and awnings for families who need them most. A reward that builds something much bigger than construction.

Off the Grid highlights the unique talents and passions of LCRA employees beyond their professional roles. You know us for water, power and community services – now meet the remarkable people behind the work.
