Austin, TX – Today Texas State Senator Robert Nichols, Jacksonville, and Texas State Representative James White, Hillister, announced a significant budget allocation for the Tyler County and Newton Counties Courthouses.
“Rep. White and I worked hard to ensure that our historic Newton County and Tyler Counties courthouses were preserved,” said Senator Nichols. “These funds will ensure that any maintenance, renovation, or conservation is funded. Our historic courthouses tell such important stories about Texans who came before us, and these funds will sustain our commitment to preserving that history.”
During the 87th legislative session, Tyler County was allocated $ 1 million and Newton County was allocated $ 1.1 million for the upkeep of the courthouse through the Texas Historical Commission’s Courthouse Grants program. This nationally recognized and award-winning program has funded 70 courthouse restorations in Texas, an additional 29 courthouse emergency or planning works, and 25 updates to the master plan for conservation. With more historic courthouses than any other state in the nation, the Texas Historical Commission has made every effort to preserve this impressive collection of historic public architecture.
“Thank you Senator Nichols for your guidance on behalf of Deep East Texas,” said Rep. White. “These Newton and Tyler District Courthouse funds will play a key role in honoring the history of these two great counties. These courthouses are treasures of the rural community and the allocated funds will facilitate the growth of our local prosperity.”
