Your commitment and dedication to our city allows us to continue to provide outstanding service. If you know a volunteer or business that has gone above and beyond for our community, you can nominate them for any of the various ‘Volunteer of the Year’ categories. Look for the ‘Volunteer of the Year Nominations’ article in this publication for more information. 2026 brings much excitement as we finalize construction on our newly renovated Police and Municipal Court building, Animal Shelter, and other exciting projects. We look forward to announcing their openings soon. And with much anticipation, H-E-B Grocery is scheduled to open this year! I hope you will join us for the Town Hall meeting on January 15. It’s a great way to learn about upcoming projects and programs and a great place to ask questions or give suggestions. Mark your calendar and I’ll see you there!
