CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Elected leaders of Nueces County are working with the City of Corpus Christi and Robstown to open an overnight warming center at the Richard M. Borchard Fairground again.
The center will open Thursday, Feb. 3rd at 8:00 p.m. and stay open until 12:00 p.m. on Saturday.
It is open to residents of Nueces County and surrounding communities. The RTA will be offering free rides to and from the center during operational hours.
Likewise, the City of Corpus Christi received special recognition from state leaders during a briefing with state agency heads and Gov. Abbott on Tuesday.
"We had over a thousand local jurisdictions calling in - just want to highlight one - the City of Corpus Christi made sure that we knew they had warming centers open," said Nim Kidd, chief of the Department of Emergency Management.
The state will be listing warming centers on their emergency management site. You can click here for that list.
