Sparks Drive Connection Project Map
Cleburne receives $1.4-million grant
for Sparks Drive Connection
The City of Cleburne will begin a vital industrial construction project after securing outside funding to connect a section of Sparks Drive with the Chisholm Trail Parkway.

The United States Economic Development Administration awarded the city $1.4 million for the construction of connecting Sparks Drive from the Chisholm Trail Parkway to the existing roadway in the city’s industrial district.

“This is a major improvement for our industrial partners and will play an important role in the future development and viability of our industrial area,” Mayor Scott Cain said. “Even better, we found a way to secure a large amount of outside funding to benefit our community.”

The Spark Drive Road Project will extend the east section of Sparks Drive from its current location directly west to the Chisholm Trail Parkway. City staff is planning for construction to begin in 2022 with an estimated 11-month construction duration.
