The City will use the assistance to finance construction costs associated with a reclaimed water project. In addition to the loan forgiveness, the City could save approximately $487,000 on the loan portion by using the Clean Water State Revolving Fund. With the assistance approved today, the City will be able to finance the construction and continued expansion of the Village Creek Reclaimed Water System. It will extend a reclaimed waterline along the Bear Creek Parkway and provide reclaimed irrigation services to approximately 16 commercial and multi-family residential customers. The project will also include the installation of approximately 27,000 linear feet of reclaimed water pipe in the distribution system. The TWDB previously funded more than $19 million for the first two phases of this project. The TWDB is the state agency charged with collecting and disseminating water-related data, assisting with regional planning, and preparing the state water plan for the development of the state's water resources. The TWDB administers cost-effective financial assistance programs for the construction of water supply, wastewater treatment, flood control, and agricultural water conservation projects. The lineup just keeps growing at Euless’ Glade Parks BY ELIZABETH CAMPBELL liz@star-telegram.com EULESS Upscale Asian fusion, craft burgers and stores catering to the latest fashion trends for men and woman are coming to Glade Parks. Glade Parks, a 194-acre mixed-use commercial and residential development, is at Texas 121 and Glade Road near Colleyville and Grapevine. North Rock Real Estate, the Illinois-based firm that is developing, managing, building and leasing Glade Parks, announced the new arrivals. “I’m seeing the latter part of March through the summer having a flurry of grand opening activities,” Mayor Linda Martin said. Glade Parks “is meaning a lot to the Mid-Cities. We haven’t had anywhere close to go shopping, and now we do,” she said. What’s coming and when In March, get ready for family fashions retailer F21 Red to open. Hopdoddy, the Austin-based craft burger restaurant, is scheduled to open in late April, and Franchesca’s, a women’s fashion boutique, and DXL, featuring clothing for tall men, are also opening this spring. In June, look for the opening of the outdoor plaza, featuring live music and other events designed to bring people outside to enjoy green space and water features. The entertainment lineup will be announced this spring. Martin said Euless has worked hard to incorporate the plaza into its planning. The city may hold events there, she said. “We watched [the land for Glade Parks] sitting there for years. We watched it coming up from the ground. It is all very exciting, and this is not just for citizens in Euless but from the entire region,” she said. Also coming in June, an upscale Aloft Hotel from Starwood and Marriott — one of the focal points of Glade Parks — will open. The hotel will be next to the Cinepolis luxury movie theater that opened last summer. Asian fusion fans will want to visit Imperial Hibachi, also scheduled to open in June. This fall, look for Total Wine & More and the Portland, Ore.-based Thirsty Lion Gastropub & Grill to open. Thirsty Lion is opening its second location in the Metroplex featuring a 7,500- square-foot restaurant with a scratch kitchen, craft beer and cocktails along with an 1,800-square-foot patio.

Double burgers: New Hopdoddy locations coming to Euless, Southlake BY BUD KENNEDY bud@star-telegram.com The Magic Shroom burger at Hopdoddy Burger Bar Max Faulkner Star-Telegram archives Hey, Bud! I thought a Hopdoddy Burger Bar was supposed to open in Glade Parks. What do you know? — Tired of the traffic Yep. A Hopdoddy is booked to open in late April in that Euless center, followed by yet another location in Southlake Town Square. Glade Parks also expects an Imperial Hibachi restaurant and later, a Thirsty Lion Gastropub. Hey, Bud! What's the deal with Smashburger closing on North Tarrant Parkway? — @StevensonFWST on Twitter Most of the locations of Colorado-based Smashburger around here had already gone buns up. It was a good burger chain, but not as good as the “better burger” concepts like Victory Burger. Some Smashburger locations were converted to The Catch, an East Texas seafood restaurant. The region's first Smashburger remains open at 5005 S. Cooper St., Arlington, along with Mansfield and Southlake locations. Hey, Bud! Did that OM Indian Grill ever get open? — Southlake diner The elaborate OM Indian Grill took months longer than expected, but it's open and busy at 2001 W. Southlake Blvd. The Tukkem family offers dine-in or delivery, giving Southlake an Indian restaurant on the west edge to compare with the excellent Mughlai on the east edge. Hey, Bud! I thought Herencia was supposed to replace Mi Chula's. I don't see anything happening. — Another Southlake diner Me neither. Mi Chula's was supposed to be retooled as a different concept. Nobody at Herencia responded to Facebook messages or calls.
