The agenda item will give Ernesto Guevara and engineer Dan Hajl the option to hire a contractor, force account labor and heavy machinery to begin what could be a six month long project to pave the 14-mile stretch of road that is physically in Maverick County.

"$100,000-400,000 would be used specifically for culverts," stated Hajl who said that right now the road can actually be driven in a four-wheel drive truck or large vehicle, but not in a sedan as he said could literally fall into a crevice along the way, "We selected this particular road because of the vast array of economic opportunities it would generate for the county in taxes and tax revenue."

County Judge David Saucedo mentioned that Guevara had some concerns that he would not have the personnel to be able to handle the job while possibly leaving projects across the county unmanned while they tackle this

Commisioner Robert Ruiz said that while he agrees that this project would be very beneficial to Maverick County, he is not kosher with the idea of putting all of our manpower in one project.

Guevara was asked what he would need to facilitate the project in terms of machinery which turned out to be a bulldozer, motor grater, front-end loader, 122 barrel tractor trailer to haul water and two back hoes.

This is when Commissioner Casares asked whether he had the manpower to work this equipment to which Guevara said they may need to contract someone to do so in order to keep the Road & Bridge Department running smoothly in all four precincts simultaneously.

This is a project which will definitely touch the future and with corporate giants such as Anadarko purchasing significant amounts of land in the area, the economic impact that this type of business generates in and around the Eagle Ford, it's a sign of progress and a welcomed breath of fresh air to Eagle Pass and Maverick County.  Who knows, one beautiful morning as the sun rises in our little neck of the woods, we will wake up as big as Laredo.
