Another Big Highway Headed Toward Comanche
Comanche seeks inclusion in a new national highway linking Gatesville Hamilton and Brownwood. The route would bypass some counties and pass through Indian Gap before reaching Comanche, a change favored by local leaders to ensure the Roger Q. Mills Highway serves the area. Citizens are urged to support the plan and push for all roads to lead to Comanche.
