After numerous well-attended meetings on the Trans Texas Corridor, Walker County's leaders will officially oppose the superhighway project.

A proclamation was unanimously approved by county commissioners at Monday night's meeting, and will be sent to the state shortly.

County Judge Danny Pierce said Tuesday there is no gray area when it comes to the topic of TTC in Walker County, and that in its present design, the multi-billion dollar project is not wanted by the vast majority of residents.

Two town hall meetings in January and a public hearing last week featured overwhelming opposition from the hundreds in attendance.

Among the reasons cited, the Walker County proclamation says the road would split farms and ranches, and take land that would negatively impact the county's tax base.

Grimes County residents and leaders have put up similar opposition to the project. The current corridor study area would bring TTC through Walker and Grimes Counties, though a second -- a possibly third -- study will likely be conducted. A "no-build" option is also on the table.

A TTC public hearing in Navasota is scheduled for February 28.

Bryan will host a hearing March 3.
