During the City of Corsicana’s Council work session, Amy Tidwell, Corsicana Main Street Director, brought forth a strategic plan by the Corsicana Visitors Bureau to enhance tourism to the City of Corsicana. Tidwell wants to make sure that the City and CVB are working together in tandem. Kathleen Davis, CEO of Texas Association of Visitors Bureaus, discussed the plan designed to keep the organization on track and work on promoting Corsicana as a great place to visit. This plan was worked into the CVB budget and will be ready to go for the years 2023-2025. The mayor personally thanked Amy Tidwell for all her hard work in the community.
The construction for the US-287 project will last for approximately two to three years and will widen the lanes from two to four. This means that the city will be required to relocate some of the utilities. The conservative preliminary total cost will be $40 million with the City’s part being anywhere from 25-95%. A notice of intent for the next city council meeting will be presented to issue ten million dollars of debt. Most of the funds will be reimbursed throughout the project with at least 25% being the City’s responsibility.
The current sanitation contract between the City of Corsicana and Republic Services will expire in October 2024. Recycling was discussed and was asked to be removed since only 173 residents use this. A twice a month brush and bulk collection was also discussed which would greatly benefit the city and its residents. An emergency bulk collection was discussed in case of storm damage and a proposed bulk day similar to the Navarro County cleanup day was also mentioned.
These issues will be discussed at a future City Council meeting.
