Austin County adopts letter to TXDOT opposing Corridor

Austin County Commissioners adopted a letter of opposition to Trans Texas Corridor when they met Monday March 10th. The letter outlines the parks and managed lands, wetlands, archeological and historical resources and socio-economic characteristics of Austin County.

The letter concludes, "This Court recognizes the need for a 20 year plus transportation plan. It does not support a total destruction of our Texas land to build a financial empire for campaign contributors or lobbyists. This great State has grown and thrives on the wisdom and prudence of past government leaders. We imnplore our current State leadership to excercise that same wisdom and selflessness.
