by | Sep 20, 2018 | Latest

Highway 380 alignments were once again the topic of discussion, this time with additional data given by the city.

Over the past several weeks City Engineer Eddy Daniel and City Manager Ben White, along with many other city employees, have been putting together a spreadsheet on the various TxDOT routes that have been set up regarding Hwy. 380.

A first look at the spreadsheet was presented to council at the Tuesday, Sept. 11 city council meeting.

The spreadsheet chronicles the number of parcels inside the city, the number of parcels inside Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ), the number of parcels inside U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Land, the number of parcels in agricultural use, number of houses affected, number of commercial establishments affected, number of civic/social organizations impacted, ad valorem tax revenue eliminated per year, sales tax impact, number of jobs impacted, positive impact from roadway, Perryman Study and city of Farmersville utility relocation costs.
