Bonham Preps for the Future

City of Bonhmam

The Bonham City Council Monday unanimously adopted an eight year plan to deal with growth in the city and region. 

Visioning Bonham 2017-2025 (also known as VisBon-2025) outlines a yearlong look at planning for what city officials call a “snowball in the coming six to eight years.”

City officials cite the expansion of the Metroplex, growing trade along US Highway 82, and the coming $1 billion-plus Lower Bois’ D’ Arc Creek Reservoir Water Project, which is forecasted for mid-2018.

The plan incorporates public input gleaned earlier this year.

KETR will have more on this story as it evolves.
