Beaumont seeks fairer freight rate for rock asphalt
Beaumont officials and Alamo Paving Company seek to change a $1 per ton freight rate from Uvalde for rock asphalt to San Antonio. San Antonio, 90 miles away, currently pays 75 cents per ton, creating an unfair advantage for Beaumont. The plan includes a spur to connect mines, a $25,000 San Antonio plant, and a new crushing site to streamline delivery.
