The Holland Bridge is open and the next step.

Friends,

      The Holland Road bridge is open.  Thank you, TXDOT and PSC.

      A huge apology to all of you who had to suffer since summer of last year.

      Today a letter was written to TXDOT asking that the Salado segment of I-35 Construction be completed by December 1, 2015.  It is a fair request.  Last summer,  PSC said they could finish it by Fall 2015.  They have proven they can do it

      In the same letter, it is asked that TXDOT curb and gutter downtown (Stage Coach to Salado Plaza) at no cost to the village.  They have helped communities around us to include Bartlett.  Salado has been fair, understanding, and patient.  We should receive something for the economic damage that has been caused.

     The week of March, 16, 2015, the County, Village, and TXDOT will meet to discuss the above as well as the next step.

     Last Wednesday evening at a Texas Tourist Dinner, sitting next to Texas Representative Jimmy Don Aycock, he offered his assistance.  "Thank you, Representative Aycock, for your offer.  It has been noted and saved for future use."

     Thanks to each of you for your suggestions and recommendations.  They, too, are saved and will be used if needed.  We will take this a step at a time but the steps must be timely.   We will be fair, but we want action not promises.
