Bond Election Decides $25 Million Galveston County Road Plan
Galveston County voters head to the polls May 10 for a road bond election to fund a $25 million program. Projects include $35,000 for Vauthier Road and $280,000 for Delaney Road, with $2 million designated for city and county roads and $20.4 million for state highways. Port Industrial Boulevard in Galveston would receive $9.5 million for right‑of‑way and related work, while Highway 146 through Texas City and Kemah would get over $2.9 million. County Judge Ray Holbrook noted estimates may adjust as final work proceeds, and the plan implies a property tax increase of about 15 to 17 cents per $100 assessed value.
