Port Isabel Paving Plan Aims To Beautify City
City officials describe a paving program to cover all unpaved streets south of the railroad and possibly finish remaining streets. Vacant lots should develop as the program progresses, with nondeveloped lots cleaned or acquired by the Urban Renewal Agency if nuisances persist. Tax structure may improve and funds could support keeping the city clean with public cooperation.
