The Kerrville City Council at its regular meeting Tuesday approved the renewal of a contract between the city and the Texas Department of Transportation involving the state’s Adopt-A-Highway program, where private and public groups take responsibility for a length of a state highway, usually 2 miles.
This program, which started in 1985, has grown to more than 34,000 participating groups across Texas and has spread to most states in the nation, and has even gone international. The first adopted highway was in Tyler. The adopted highway must be a state highway and not a high traffic area.
