January Happenings in the Village

Friends,

Here are a few things the Village will be expecting in January:

1.  Hidden Glenn -- the construction of the Senior Citizen home will begin.  In fact, if you go down Mary Street, you will see that the field is plowed and being prepared for the foundation.  It will take 12 months to complete with the grand opening to be December 2015.  Hidden Glenn will become a part of the city limits.

2.  The preparation of the land for the new Catholic Church Sanctuary begins in January.  Completion date is December 2015.  Much excitement about this project.

3.  A decision about the purchase of Stage Coach, however, this is hopeful speculation.  It may be February or early Spring before a final answer is given.  Negotiations are underway.

4.  Road repair.  The materials are purchased and the Holidays are over.  We are more than ready to get started.

5.  More news about Sanctuary.  It has been very quiet.

6.  The Chamber Banquet, January 8.  It is a time to come together as a village for food, fellowship, and a good program.  Fred Brown is the emcee and that should be entertaining.   He has a way . . .  well you know.  Get you tickets from the Chamber Office.

7.  The repair of the Holland Bridge or a letter and a petition to the Governor.  It will be one or the other.

8.  The beginning of the final major phase of construction for the Salado I-35 Project.  In fact, it has started.  Looking for a completion of this final phase in 4 to 5 months.

9.  Maybe, the Village to be decorated in red and white for Valentine.  Like Christmas only with lots and lots of hearts, cupids, and roses.  Lots of advertising "Bring your sweetheart to Salado, buy her, a sweet present, and enjoy a lovely meal."

10.  A six hour Saturday Working session for the Aldermen/AlderLady.

11.  The names of those running for three Aldermen positions.

There is much happening.  Read this Blog daily and stay-up.  Tell you friends to read, too.

Very respectfully,
