Well, you can just ruffle my hair and call me Frankie, for I have stumbled onto a project that has been a long time in the making.<\/p>\n

I ran an errand this evening in Princeton, Texas, where I have lived for the past five years. My route took me south on Beauchamp Boulevard toward County Road 400. That’s when I saw a sign with the name of a general contractor just a few yards from a marker identifying the future site of Bois d’ Arc Professional Park.<\/p>\n

What did I do? I took a picture of the sign and called the number of the contractor.\u00a0 Then, expecting the call to go to voice mail, someone answered. It was Max Allen, the general contractor.<\/p>\n

Allen then proceeded to tell me he is going to build a pre-school on the site. He said he expects to break ground “in about 60 days.” He said his work only entails the school but said there “might be other projects coming up as well.” I won’t take that last statement to the bank. Still, I am heartened to see some evidence of movement on a significant parcel of land that has just been growing weeds since I moved into the area all those years ago.<\/p>\n

I have heard Mayor Brianna Chacon lament at least once that the professional park has remained empty. I will point out, though, that a new storage unit has gone up just south of professional park boundary. Chacon also has talked openly about the possibility of declaring a moratorium on single-family and apartment construction to enable the city to shore up its infrastructure.<\/p>\n

With all that hanging over the city, I am tickled to reveal the apparent start of an important new commercial project on property that has been begging for it<\/p>\n\n
