Big Bend Construction Pause Extended | Dallas News

Big Bend’s construction pause just got longer—now set to resume September 30th after a lawsuit over border security projects threatening religious freedoms and historic sites. While ground-disturbing work is halted, surveys and real estate prep continue. The controversy erupted in August when bulldozer images sparked outrage from ranchers, environmentalists, and politicians.

For now, silence reigns as stakeholders negotiate next steps. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
