Brazos County Residents Win Road Improvements Push
The Texas State Highway Commission plans four highway contracts this September, led by two segments on Highway 21 from Kurten to Navasota and Bryan west to the Brazos River. Brazos County voters supplied $500,000 for state highways, with bonds totaling about $350,000 net cost after state aid.
