By June 24, 2021No Comments

Brewster County Commissioners on May 26 decided to adopt a newly revised outdoor lighting ordinance.  Addressing commissioners were Bill Wren, dark skies advocate from the University of Texas McDonald Observatory in Fort Davis, and Bob Krumenaker, Superintendent of Big Bend National Park.  “The bottom line is the dark skies are a huge draw to this park,” he said. “If visitation goes up, the county’s economic impact goes up. The night skies in Brewster County are a terrific way to enhance the quality and numbers of visitors at Big Bend National Park.”
