Kendall County Commissioners Court gave unanimous approval Sept. 23 to exploring the logistics of constructing a weigh station along Interstate 10, a measure which proponents believe would help preserve roads, combat drug trade and human trafficking, and produce additional revenue for the county.
“I am asking the court to make a declaration as to whether you are interested or not,” said Kendall County Sheriff Al Auxier. He explained that such a declaration would enable his office and other stakeholders, such as the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), to collaborate on researching the costs and logistics of building a weigh station.
The court’s vote did not commit any funds, but simply expressed its interest in learning more.
