First Open House Today on Smith County Road Plan

TYLER — The Smith County Commissioners Court is hosting its first Smith County Road and Bridge Strategic Planning Citizen Input Meeting this evening, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the City of Tyler Police Faulkner Park Substation. The public is invited to attend and give their opinions of county roads and bridges. Officials say it’s all part of a strategic planning process to develop a Road and Bridge Plan that identifies specific road and bridge infrastructure improvements needed in the county, sets out a timeline for making those improvements, and identifies the funding source(s) for such improvements.

Smith County is now seeking input from all citizens about their county road and bridge concerns. Additional Citizen Input Meetings have been set for around the county. They include:

5:30-7 p.m. Thursday, July 20, Lindale City Hall, Ballard Drive in Lindale

5:30-7 p.m. Thursday, July 27, New Harmony Baptist Church, FM 724

5:30-7 p.m. Tuesday, August 15, the R.B. Hubbard Center, East Ferguson in Tyler
