WHEREAS, the Kimberly -Clark Plant located at the intersection of Loop 286 and Farm
Road 137, Paris, Lamar County, Texas will continue to contribute to the retention or expansion

investment in the reinvestment zone that will benefit the property and contribute to the economic
development of the City of Paris; and,
WHEREAS, notice of the April 13, 2015 public hearing was published in The Paris
