ECTOR COUNTY, Texas — Ector County will be starting a small pilot program team to get samples of the landmark meteor crater. 

The meteor crater is located at the southwestern part of Ector County. The results of the test will determine whether they will need a bigger team to further evaluate the site.

It will cost $4.0 million to improve the county roadways system. It is considered a big program and investment.
