Pictured above is Precinct 4 County Commissioner Gary Reese. His precinct includes the Seadrift and Port O’Connor areas. A helipad was dedicated to Seadrift in the summer of 2023. It is located right next to Seadrift’s First National Bank. In May 2024 Commissioner Gary Reese hopes that a helipad in Port O’Connor will be ready for service. It will be located behind the county barn off Trevor Street in Port O’Connor. Right now, the county is in the process of going out for bids for its construction. -Tanya DeForest
