Protests Filed by Two Districts Over Port Mansfield Project
Port Mansfield completion faces protest from the Port Isabel San Benito and Brownsville Navigation Districts. At a hearing on April 6 1956 engineers recommended deepening the channel and turning basin from 2 feet to 4 feet plus two feet, with the project deemed economically justified. The case arose from concerns the harbor work would cost more and benefit the local area, and officials noted jetties and the channel conditions amid ongoing construction and local hospital references.
