Kaufman County Commissioners Court

KAUFMAN COUNTY–Kaufman County Commissioners voted Dec. 19, 2023 to award funding for the State Highway 34 and US 175 project to Pavecon, an industry-leading paving contractor serving multiple states throughout the country, in the amount of $3,450,477.70.
Bids were accepted by the county Nov. 11-30, 2023. The amount bid by Pavecon is higher than the county’s engineering estimate, however, still lower than the amount budgeted for the project which will include two new roadways connecting SH 34 and US 175. 

KAUFMAN COUNTY–Kaufman County Commissioners heard from Emergency Management Coordinator Steve Howie on severe area flooding and efforts to help those affected at the court’s regular meeting Oct. 31.
Howie told commissioners that the area in and around Kaufman had received 14.4 inches of rain between Friday night and Monday morning, with 10 inches of that coming down on Saturday, causing significant flooding.

KAUFMAN COUNTY–Kaufman County Commissioners met in a workshop Jan. 9 and discussed courthouse renovations and plans.
