🏗️ BIG THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN DOWNTOWN SABINAL! 🇺🇸

ANOTHER EXCITING STEP FORWARD FOR OUR COMMUNITY!

I am extremely excited to announce that the City of Sabinal is officially accepting bids for the demolition of the existing structure at 403 N. Center Street, the future home of our Downtown Plaza Project!

This is another major milestone in our efforts to revitalize downtown Sabinal, encourage economic development (so we can increase income and funds to pay for things like TOTALLY RECONSTRUCTED ROADS), support our local businesses, and create a beautiful, welcoming space that our residents and future generations can enjoy!

Through the $1 MILLION Texas Department of Agriculture Downtown Revitalization Grant, the City of Sabinal is taking a HUGE step toward turning a long-term vision into reality!

When I first took office, I made a commitment to work alongside our amazing city staff toward a brighter future for Sabinal. I knew that transforming our community wouldn’t happen overnight. It would take patience, determination, partnerships, many mistakes, responsible financial planning, and a willingness to think BIG!

Today, I am more optimistic than ever about where our little city is headed!

Projects like this are about so much more than demolishing an old building or constructing a new plaza. They’re about investing in our community, restoring pride in our downtown, creating new opportunities, and showing that even a small Texas town of near 2,000 residents can accomplish BIG things!

There’s still plenty of work ahead, and this is just one step in a much larger process, but every milestone brings us closer to the Sabinal we envision for our children, families, businesses, and future generations.

The best days of Sabinal are not behind us. I truly believe they’re still ahead of us! ❤️

LET’S KEEP MOVING SABINAL FORWARD! 🇺🇸
