COLDSPRING — San Jacinto County could receive up to $106,000 from the Texas Forest Service for its road use agreement.
At the Wednesday County Commissioners Court meeting, the court learned that based on a Good Neighbor Authority agreement the county entered into in with Texas A&M Forest Service, the county could be reimbursed for materials used to repair roads the Forest Service uses.
