County leaders voice opposition to reservoir project

Bowie County commissioners took another stand against the proposed Marvin Nichols Reservoir this week as they passed a formal resolution voicing their opposition to the lake’s construction. The resolution adds Bowie County to the ever-growing list of those opposing the proposed construction of the massive reservoir in the Sulphur River Basin. That opposition includes District 1 State Representative Gary VanDeaver. Texas Governor Gregg Abbott also voiced his concerns about the project earlier this year.
