Why Precinct 1 Streets Remain Unpaved in County
County Commissioner Bob Corkins explains that Precinct 1 lacks paving due to funding limits and required city approval for curb and drainage. He notes Precinct 2 funded its own paving from precinct funds over years, and cites wider streets and engineering needs as obstacles. He hopes paving occurs this spring and summer with newly purchased county equipment.
