The Wait is Over — FM 4 Reopened Wednesday

The City of Cleburne understands that construction projects can be an inconvenience, and we appreciate the community’s patience when the necessary work is in progress.

We’re happy to announce that the portion of FM 4 (Second Street) that has been closed since August reopened on Wednesday, Sept. 28. The road was closed between Wilhite Street and S. Brazos Avenue for a BNSF rail expansion project that required the relocation of water and sewer lines that were located within the area of future rail construction.

You may still see crews and equipment at the site as workers conduct an unrelated water line repair. Please use caution and watch out for any crew members in the area. Thank you once again for your patience and cooperation.

Give It Up for the Golf Champs

Three golfers came out on top after the City of Cleburne hosted its annual golf championship games. Steve Riza won the men’s tournament, Dale Furtick was the championship for the senior tournament, and Kim Bice won it all in the ladies tournament.

The champions and top scorers received a trophy and golf shop credit prizes. View more details about the City of Cleburne Golf Championships here.

A Round of Applause for Our HR

Human Resource Professional Day is a national recognition of people who dedicate their time to handle all things staffing (hiring, training, retaining, etc.) for organizations.

It was held on Sept. 26, and it reminded us of how blessed we are to have the lovely ladies who make up our Human Resources Department. They’re very much appreciated for all they do!

Escape Rooms, Paleontology and Movie Nights... Oh My!

October is a busy time for our museums, and that means there are plenty of events that the public can enjoy. Be sure to take a look at the events calendar here.

It features different themed events at the Layland Museum of History and the Cleburne Railroad Museum. They even have an event for your kids to get some candy on the Saturday before Halloween.

PET OF THE WEEK

Rooster has a lot going through his mind. When is my new owner coming? What’s for dinner? Why am I a dog named Rooster? Don’t worry, Rooster. We don’t have the answers to all of life’s questions, but we’re hoping we can get you a new home very soon.

Rooster is a 7-month-old Great Pyrenees and lab mix who has tons of energy. He’s already neutered, and he’s going to grow up to be a large dog. If you’d like to add Rooster as a member of your family, learn how to adopt him here.
