MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />To: Paris City Council <br />From: Don Wall, Chairman <br />Date: October 14, 2002 <br /> <br /> My reason for contacting you at this time is a matter of utmost <br />importance to the Paris Community. The Northeast Texas Regional <br />Mobility Council (NETMOB) is making a plea before the Texas <br />Transportation Commission on Thursday, October 31, 2002 in Austin. <br />NETMOB will be asking for the commitment of construction dollars <br />to expand State Highway 24 to a four lane divided highway in Delta <br />County. This four lane highway access for Paris to connect to <br />Interstate 30 is critical to. the economic development of Paris and <br />Lamar County. <br /> TxDOT has committed almost 90% of its projected funds in the <br />Paris District for the next four years. What this means to us in Paris <br />is that we will have very little if any opportunity to get any highway <br />construction that directly benefits Paris for the next six years. As a <br />matter of fact, this Highway 24 project may very well be our only <br />shot at highway construction for the next six years. <br /> It is absolutely imperative that we support this effort and let the <br />Texas Transportation Commission know that we want this project. <br />We need every elected official and every warm body we can get to be <br />in Austin for this delegation appearance. I humbly solicit your <br />support and attendance at this most important meeting. The future <br />of transportation in Lamar County is at stake. <br /> <br /> TEXAS <br />Serving Paris & kamar County · 1651 Clarksville Street · Paris, Texas 75460 · 903/'/84.2501 Fax 903/784.2503 · www,paristexas.com <br /> <br /> <br />
