Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Grimes County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Public Health Clinic Update
Todd Mission City Council just got an update on the Texas A&M mobile health clinic rolling into town to offer community visits. It's a handy way for locals to get healthcare without driving out of the area.
Board Appointments
Navasota is shaking up its local boards this October with fresh faces, but city leaders are cracking down on members who keep skipping meetings and failing to make quorum.
Credit Rating Affirmation
Navasota just locked in a sweet A+ credit rating from S&P, proving the city's finances are in great shape. This is huge because it makes borrowing money way cheaper as they gear up for big upcoming community investments.
Senior Meal Services and Aging Agreement
The court approved senior meal rates and the regional aging services agreement to keep meal programs running smoothly for older residents. These partnerships provide vital nutritional support across the county.
Trash Contract
Navasota is ditching Republic Services after 20 years and bringing in Best Trash for garbage pickup. If you live in town, get ready for a new hauling company and likely some changes to your usual trash day or rules.
Zoning Change
Your local car dealership, EAG Chevrolet, is expanding its showroom and service center thanks to a freshly approved zoning change. This means bigger operations right in town, bringing more business activity and convenience to the area.
Employee Resignation and Theft Investigation
Some Navasota city employees quit while being investigated for theft, making it look like the city's internal checks and balances need a serious tune-up. It's a bad look for local government transparency and makes you wonder how money is being managed.
