BRENHAM CITY COUNCIL APPROVES PLACEMENT OF AIRCRAFT IN CITY PARK

  

The Brenham City Council approved the placement of a retired F-111 Military Aircraft at their meeting yesterday afternoon (Thursday).

The Director of Public Works Department for the City of Brenham, Dane Rau has worked with Don Holley and Ben Seeker on this aircraft project. Holley says that the best spot to place the aircraft would be in Henderson Park as this location is out of the flood plain, has adequate room, and has adjacent parking for visitors. All funds for this project would be raised by Holley,

Holley needed the Council’s approval before he could move forward with this submittal to the Air Force.

Dane Rau also spoke on the need for stop signs at the intersections of Key and West Chauncy Streets as well as Key and West Mansfield Streets. Rau says that the intersections currently have yield signs and that the addition of stop signs would make the flow of traffic safer for the community.

         

Also approved at yesterday’s (Thursday) meeting: re-adopting the guidelines and criteria for granting tax phase-in in a reinvestment zone created in the City of Brenham and Dr. Walter Jackson, the Brenham ISD Superintendent was approved for recommendation to the Main Street Board.
