GRIMES COUNTY, Texas - Grimes County Commissioners are continuing to oppose plans for a future toll road but the County Judge is now seeing more reasons to support the project.
Last week county commissioners voted four to one in support of a resolution opposing the Highway 249 also known as the Aggie Highway.
County Judge Ben Leman told us Friday he does think a future highway like this is inevitable.
He says TxDOT's new plan to spend $2 million on feeder roads for the project would be a benefit to Grimes county.
He told us he's disappointed but not discouraged by the commissioners' resolution.
