El Paso County breaks ground for Westway Park improvements

VINTON, Texas (KVIA) -- El Paso County kicked off the Westway Park Improvements Project Friday with a groundbreaking ceremony. The project is expected to bring a new walking trail, water fountains, picnic areas and a basketball court, the county said.
