Richardson Chamber Urges Texas to Meet Highway Beautification Act
The Richardson Chamber of Commerce adopted a resolution urging Texas leaders to enact legislation to comply with the Highway Beautification Act of 1965. It warns Texas could lose $25 million annually in federal highway funds if noncompliance persists past May 31, with Gov. Preston Smith pushing for an earlier enactment and extension to Sept. 1. Missouri faces a similar penalty, while compliant states gain redistributed funds.
