Starr County court approves resolution to apply for Texas CDBG paving funds
Summary
The commissioners approved a resolution to submit the first-phase application for a Texas Community Development Block Grant to seek paving funds; the resolution was approved by voice vote and staff said the application is the routine first step in the annual process.
Starr County commissioners voted to approve a resolution authorizing submission of a Texas Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) phase‑one application to pursue paving funds. The court approved the resolution by voice vote after staff described the application as the routine annual first step that, if accepted, would invite the county to apply for funding for road paving.
The measure was introduced as Item 7. An unidentified staff member explained the process and said this action was only the resolution to apply for phase one. Commissioner Regardson moved the resolution; Commissioner Perez seconded, and the court voted in favor.
The action does not commit Starr County to any specific project list or funding award; it authorizes staff to submit the required application and to pursue subsequent steps if the county is invited to apply. No dollar amounts or specific road segments were named during the discussion.
Next steps: staff will submit the phase‑one application and await an invitation to apply for the grant. The court did not record further timelines or conditions tied to any potential award.
