Simpson County begins formal process to remove VFW Road from county road list
Summary
Public Works Supervisor Bobby Groves requested removing VFW Road from the county road list; the fiscal court authorized advertising the closure and appointed two viewers to inspect the road and report back.
Public Works Supervisor Bobby Groves asked the fiscal court to initiate the procedure to remove VFW Road from the Simpson County road list. Groves explained the statutory process requires the county to advertise the proposed closure, appoint two viewers to inspect the road and receive any objections at a public meeting before the court may discontinue the road.
Magistrate Myron Thurman moved to begin the process and to appoint Jack Wade and Scott Hall as viewers; Magistrate Marty Chandler seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The court directed Public Works to advertise the proposed closure and for the appointed viewers to examine the property and prepare a report for the next appropriate public meeting.
Why it matters: removing a road from the county list can affect maintenance responsibility and access; the viewers' report and any public objections will be considered before a final decision.
