perry signWe’ve told you about the specifics of Perry’s 18th Street construction project, in terms of dollar amounts, hopeful completion dates and the like.  But what about why this project is happening?

Mayor Jay Pattee says having the street paved has many benefits both now and in the future.

“It opens up a whole list of possibilities for the north side of Perry and it also opens up an area that’s very convenient to the high school.  It makes safer travel in the future for young people who are traveling to high school from within the city limits or that come in from rural areas because they could come in on 18th Street now and it’s no long a gravel road” says Pattee.

Next year the City plans to continue North Street from 16th to 18th Street, which Mayor Pattee says he’s also looking forward to because it could open the door to bringing some more land into the city limits and possibly additional developments north of town.

We’ll have more with Mayor Pattee on today’s Let’s Talk Dallas County during the 9am, noon and 5pm hours  on AM 1310 KDLS.
