- The Greenville Independent School District is seeking public input on whether to put a bond proposal on local ballots in November. The district has been seeking funds to build a new middle school and a new early childhood center, among other projects. In May, voters rejected a $169 million bond proposal from the district. At a public meeting in July, the district presented a slimmed-down version of the package that totaled about $136 million. The new middle school would be built south of Hunt Regional Medical Center and the new early childhood center would be located next to the current one. There will be one more public meeting on the topic Tuesday evening. It’s scheduled for 5:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Greenville Middle School cafeteria. The Greenville ISD board is expected to decide later this month whether to place another bond proposal on November ballots.
- Coming up tomorrow in Princeton, there’ll be another public meeting on the future of U.S. Highway 380. The Texas Department of Transportation is working on plans to re-route parts of Hwy. 380 from McKinney to the east, through Princeton, over Lavon Lake, through Farmersville, and on to the Collin County-Hunt County line. The project could include freeways bypassing both Princeton and Farmersville. The next public meeting on the topic is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Princeton High School. The event will not be streamed live, but a recording of the meeting will be publicly available afterwards. More information about the proposed makeover of U.S. Highway 380 can be found at keepitmovingdallas.com.
