The Goliad County Commissioners Court took two preliminary steps to begin construction of a new volunteer fire station in Berclair.
During their May 22 meeting, commissioners unanimously approved the submission of a resolution for a Texas Community Development Block Grant Program application for funds to construct the facility, and also unanimously approved a contract with John D. Mercer & Associates Inc., for engineering and construction.
