Mayor’s Message – Poteet




 

 

January 2021 is almost behind us. It has been a crazy start to the year. A lot of interesting events have transpired and more are to come. Events at the national, state, county and city levels will have a direct and/ or indirect impact on all of us. The news media provides an overabundance of information. We need to realize and accept that we can only manage how we respond to the things at our level. We must remain positive to enhance the world around us. We need to be a part of the solution, not just complain about the problem. Especially as we continue to fight against COVID-19. The COVID-19 vaccine is out for distribution; however, it is available in limited quantities to certain groups identified by the CDC. It is projected that there will soon be larger mass distributions made available to larger groups. I believe as soon as the majority of the population gets vaccinated and the spread of COVID-19 is controlled, the Texas State of Emergency will be lifted. In the interim, everyone should continue to follow the CDC COVID-19 safety protocols in effort to curtail the spread of COVID-19. We will get through this together–with social distancing.

An update on the Strawberry Fields subdivision. Last week the City Council approved the final plat for phase one with a couple of conditions. Once the developers submit the required documents, earth-moving equipment will start carving away to begin the street and utility construction phase. The Headstart program is about ready to open its doors. There will be a couple of grand opening ceremonies coming soon for some of the new establishments in our city. There are a couple more new businesses coming to our community. I will provide more information as they are closer to opening. We are always looking for more entrepreneurs to start a venture in our city. We have plenty of room for commercial growth. Anyone interested in opening a business in our city can call the city office at 830-742-3574 for information. As Mayor, I will continue to strive to enhance the quality of life in our community.

Remember Stay Strong, Gig’em Aggies
