On June 30th, 2009 a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was held for the Wendland Road Improvements Project. Mayor Bill Jones expressed thanks to The Reinvestment Board, TEDC Board Members and Staff Members, City Staff, KPA Engineers and the contractor, Dixon Paving Inc for their efforts in making a vision into reality.
The newly constructed four lane roadway will provide needed capacity for new industries planning facilities in the Industrial Park such as HEB Distribution, Northland Products and Gulf States Toyota.
