More business and more homes is the story in Cleburne for the first quarter of 2019.
Economic Development manager Grady Easdon presented a quarterly economic development update at a recent City Council meeting. The presentation highlighted new businesses in and coming to town, residential growth, and more.
“As a hometown guy I’ve never seen the trend that we’re in now and that we’ve been in for over a year now,” Easdon told the Council. “We’re in a healthy and growing economy here.”
Easdon spoke of the businesses that are revitalizing the downtown area including the recently opened Jimmie’s Restaurant, The Co-Op, and soon-to-open businesses including Breck & Co floral boutique and mercantile, and Mug on the Square coffee shop.
“I talk to these downtown merchants on a daily basis and these people are passionate about downtown and what is going on in their world,” he said. “We’re working hard on getting more like them.”
