Calhoun County Commissioners’ Court announces the opening of the new addition to the parking lot for the public boat ramp in Port O’Connor. The County purchased seven acres of land adjoining the parking lot; this additional parking was needed to alleviate parking congestion that was creating safety issues along Byers, Maple, and Stella St.
Commissioner Finster encourages everyone to use the parking lot and not park on the street right of ways. The expanded lot now is accessible from Hwy. 185 or Byers Street.
This project was identified as a necessity in the County’s Master Plan for the future growth and the economy in the County.
