Fort Stockton won't get evacuees after all
Last week I reported that Fort Stockton had submitted a proposal to accept a contingent of hurricane evacuees, with plans to house them in a couple of vacant elementary schools. I've just learned that no evacuees will be sent to Fort Stockton after all, apparently due to the lack of available single family dwellings.
That makes sense; the elementary school idea was workable on a short-term emergency basis, but didn't seem practical as a long-term solution.
The supplies that were donated in anticipation of the arrival of evacuees has been loaded on a truck and sent to another west Texas location which is hosting citizens displaced by the hurricane and flooding.
