Major sidewalk project

El Campo is on track for a major sidewalk project, thanks to a potential $2.8 million state grant. The project would expand sidewalks on several streets, including East Jackson and Railroad. The best part is the city might not have to pay the 20% grant match because of existing credits from other projects. This project will provide safe and easy access to parks, shopping and businesses. The council gave the grant request the green light with a unanimous vote.
