Regarding beautification:
Goals should be set for streetlong projects. All vacant or derelect proprties on Main St. should be earmarked for occupancy, restoration, sale or demolition. This includes the l/2 block across from the Brazos Belle, the vacant property across from City Hall, the vacant garages adjacent to Dales Automotive, and the dangerous and depalidated garage across from Dale’s. Owners of historical property should be required to seek professional advice and restore their buildings. Those projects, if completed, will make Burton property more valuable, more taxable and more attractive to investors. Burton must issue citations for non performance.
You mean actually act like a municipality and not a good ol’ boys club? Novel idea.
Vote for big government!
