Silsbee to use federal funds for Fourth Street crossing and Third Fourth resurfacing
Silsbee City Council approved a 47000 program to build a railroad grade crossing at Fourth Street and resurface Third and Fourth Streets with help from the Federal Aid Urban Systems Program. If state and federal officials approve, THD will handle contracting and labor with the city only paying for right-of-way. The plan replaces a previously funded but unaffordable curb and gutter project. Council member Edredge opposed the plan, while Landolt and Van Winkle supported it in a 4-1 vote.
