and Welcome.
Our Main Street, downtown Parkerson Avenue is finally completed.
Downtown businesses are finally getting some relief from the
construction that has been present for the last couple of years. If you are in
the area, take a tour down Parkerson Ave. There 4 phases with Parkerson Avenue
project. The area from I-10 South to the first intersection was revamped a few
years back. Then from that intersection to Northern Ave was resurfaced. Late
last year, from Northern to the Court Circle was re-surfaced and now
Downtown has been completed after a couple of years of construction. Also north
of I-10, road construction has been completed with the replacement of the bride
at the edge of town.
We are also going to be listing some area merchants that have a web presence and we invite you to check their sites also. Hopefully in a couple of weeks we will have some if not all of the bugs worked out....
