At Monday’s Corsicana Council meeting, nine-year-old Brynn Bosher from Fannin Elementary, a Principal’s Award recipient, led the Pledge of Allegiance.
The Corsicana–Navarro County Chamber of Commerce President Ken Higdon endorsed Proposition 9, highlighting its benefit to small businesses by raising the property tax exemption from $1,500 to $125,000. He noted this increase would provide financial relief to small business owners during challenging times.
Council Members approved rezoning a four-acre Highway 22 property from R2 (single-family residential) to light industrial use at the city limits.
A significant portion of the meeting focused on the approval of municipal bonds titled “City of Corsicana, Texas Combination Tax and Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 2025,” totaling $19,080,000. Although Corsicana recently received a credit rating downgrade, a representative from Hilltop Securities reassured the council and the public, noting, “It’s still a great rating. You should still be proud of your position.”
Mayor Joe Hill concluded the meeting with reminders of several upcoming community events:
• The Economic Development Partnership meeting on November 4 at 9am.
• The Fall Festival and grand re-opening of the Peace Officers Museum at Pioneer Village on November 6 from 4-7pm
• The downtown tree lighting ceremony scheduled for November 30 from 5-8pm
