light pollution

U.S. Customs and Border Protection says a plan to install lighting infrastructure along the Rio Grande in El Paso and Starr counties has been placed on hold because of a legal fight between Texas and the Biden administration over border funding.

City leaders have worked toward this goal since 2021. Other Central Texas cities and towns that are dark sky communities include Bee Cave, Blanco, Dripping Springs, Fredericksburg, Horseshoe Bay and Wimberley.
