At Monday’s Corsicana Council meeting, nine-year-old Brynn Bosher from Fannin Elementary, a Principal’s Award recipient, led the Pledge of Allegiance.
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
