City staff provided a quarterly update at the Jan. 25 City Council meeting. Economic Development manager Grady Easdon highlighted local economic and residential growth and provided a look and what’s coming to Cleburne.

“I always enjoy these economic updates and hearing what’s going on because that’s the heartbeat of a community and in Cleburne the economy is very strong,” said Mayor Scott Cain.
