Port Isabel Plans Six Island Highway Links Endorsed
An Oct 1932 Port Isabel meeting led to the permanent Padre Island Highway Association with over 100 delegates from six counties endorsing sea to shore links at Port Isabel Three Islands Redfish Bay and Corpus Christi. Frank Lopez was elected president and J R Richardson secretary. Brownsville and Corpus Christi officials backed the project as a boost for Gulf Coast tourism and Lower Rio Grande Valley traffic.
