This week, Precinct 1 crews will be working to grind and pack the section of Shepherd Road (marked in RED) located on the west side of the railroad tracks with a goal to chip seal this section next week. The rebuild of this road is being performed as part of an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Sherman, Texas that was passed earlier this year.

During this time, please avoid this stretch of road and use detours if you don't live along the road in order to allow the work process to finish as quickly and safely as possible.

If you must enter into the work zone, please obey posted signs, slow your speed, and watch for work crews and equipment for their safety and yours.

Thank you in advance for your patience as we try to make your roads better to drive on.

2 weeks to go.

Last week, I had the opportunity to travel to Amarillo, TX to take part in NACo’s first ever Rural Energy Symposium. As a Vice Chair on the Rural Action Caucus, I welcomed county leaders from across the United States to Texas and shared with them Grayson County’s role in the energy sector.

The main topics we all discussed and visited were the Hornet Solar Project and the Project Llano Data Center. These are both massive projects taking place in the Texas Panhandle.

The Hornet Solar Project is a whopping 3,900 acres with over 1.3 million solar panels. This is the second largest solar farm in Texas.

The Project Llano Data Center is one of the largest complexes in Texas covering 3.4 million square feet. They are building two 1GW buildings and four 2GW buildings. The slabs on the 2GW buildings cover 20 acres each with the 1GW buildings covering 10 acres. That is a total of 100 acres covered by data center building slabs. The project developer did share that they are working to have minimum water usage as would be needed in the panhandle. How large is there construction operations? The county’s population is 1,800 citizens. The project has 7,500 workers on site each day. Of course there will only be 50-100 permanent workers when the construction project is complete.

Does going on these energy trips mean I’m pro data center, pro solar farm, pro wind farm, or pro BESS? Absolutly not. Does that mean I’m anti each of these projects? Again, absolutly not. (I am pro oil, pro natural gas, and pro nuclear energy) As your elected representative, it is my opinion that we need to be as well informed on these subjects as one can be. To learn what the pros and cons of each project are. It is clear that these projects are welcomed and desired by the local community in some areas of Texas and throughout the country. It is also clear that these projects are not welcomed and desired by the local community in other parts of Texas and throughout the country.

As a Commissioner on the Commissioners Court of the County, we currently cannot legally stop any of these projects from coming to our community. To give those abilities to your local officials will require action and new laws by the State Legislature in this upcoming session beginning in January 2027. If you as a citizen want to see this ability change or you do not want to see this ability change, now is the time to be spreading your message to your elected State official. There has already been several interim hearings held on these issues over the past few months.

While the County is in its current position, it is important that we understand all the possibilities of how these developments affect the local communities, for good or for bad; and gather the best policies and practices to protect our residents from being disadvantaged by these projects.

Beginning today September 29, Precinct 1 crews will begin rebuilding N. Lackey St (marked in ORANGE) in the City of Tom Bean as part of an Interlocal Agreement signed earlier this year.

If possible, avoid this section of the road and use alternate routes or minimal travel points. The road will be a rock road during the upcoming rains later this week. We will aim to complete the road work in the next two weeks, weather depending.

Please obey posted warning signs, reduce speed in the construction zone, and watch out for workers and equipment for their safety and yours.

Thank you in advance for your patience as we work to make your roads better to travel.
