Our mission is to provide trusted news and local information that everyone gets, and we could not do that without you. Thank you! Lexi Canivel, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM CODY: The upcoming summer will be my rst in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and I will say I was blown away by all of the options for camps. I love the mix of academic and athletic o erings that will keep students engaged while they are on summer break. My personal favorite is How to be a YouTuber. I mean, based on the number of hours my kids watch other kids play video games online, I think it is time we cash in on that. See all the options on Pages 18-19. Cody Thorn, EDITOR CORRECTION: Volume 12, Issue 12 On page 11, the change in student funding would come from increasing the current allotment from $6,160 to $7,053.

FEATURED IMPACT NOW OPEN An independent bookstore is now open at 103 W. Worth St., Grapevine. Talking Animals Books held its grand opening Feb. 7.

City takes step for intersection improvements along Hwy. 114
COMPILED BY HANNAH JOHNSON
KIRKWOOD BRANCH
MORE CURB APPEAL Southlake is planning improvement projects along Hwy. 114.
Southlake is looking to create aesthetic intersection changes along the Hwy. 114 corridor. Southlake City Council approved an agreement with Kimley-Horn Associates for professional engi- neering and consulting services for sections of Hwy. 114 at its Feb. 7 meeting. The agreement is to develop a conceptual master plan for four intersections along Hwy. 114: Dove Road, White Chapel Bou- levard, Carroll Avenue and Kimball Avenue. The conceptual layouts will include landscape, such as trees and shrubbery, hardscape for sidewalks, or barriers and illumination for safety and accent lighting, according to city documents. Two layouts will be designed for high- and low-range improvements. According to the agreement, some costs may be applicable for Texas Department of Transportation Green Ribbon Funding, which allows cities

DEVELOPMENT Greystone Manor project denied after backlash in Colleyville
BY HANNAH JOHNSON
A proposal to build a 45-lot neigh- borhood failed in front of Colleyville City Council. The proposed rezoning of agri- cultural land to a residential district to build the housing development Greystone Manor was denied without prejudice by council in a 6-1 vote at a Feb. 7 meeting. Council Member George Dodson voted for the motion for the zoning change. Denying without prejudice means the applicant, Hat Creek Develop- ment, does not need to wait the
McDonwell School Road and West- coat Drive, according to a statement of planning objectives provided by Hat Creek Development. The developer stated in a letter to the city that home prices would start near $2.5 million. The intent for rezoning was to unify the property into one cohesive, master-planned residential develop- ment, the planning objective stated. When rst proposed, some com- munity members opposed the devel- opment, citing concerns for tra c, lot size, the location

20% of a planned unit development’s project area must be allotted for open space. The revised plan presented Feb. 7 had 20.02% of open space. Residents also cited the city’s 2015 comprehensive plan, Destination Col- leyville, which has the area’s future land use marked as residential. Eason Maykus with Hat Creek said the updated plan delivered on 20% of open space that was desired by residents, adequate lot sizes and a 50-foot bu er along Westcoat Drive. “The Greystone Manor plan presented has been faithfully worked through with city sta ,” Maykus said.
Julianna Garrison, the owner of the land, defended the proposal. She said selling the land to be developed is “best” for the community. “The property is going to be sold one day and developed, so let’s make it something we can all be proud of,” Garrison said. “Greystone Manor will be an improvement to the community.” Maykus thanked council for denying without prejudice. “We do want to come to a resolu- tion,” he said. “I would [like to] ask for guidance to make sure we can move forward on this.”

This means six out of seven council votes must be in favor for an item to pass. “I feel as a council member it is my responsibility to make sure development matches the vision of Colleyville,” Council Member Callie Rigney said. “I don’t believe this development is the highest and best- use plan for our vision.” The development was rst pro- posed and discussed by council last July.

AT THE CAPITOL
Texas history
TEXAS HISTORY First built in the 1800s, the iconic state Capitol has a storied past. 1839 Austin is established as the capital of the Republic of Texas. A log cabin served as the capitol building. 1853 A limestone building for the Capitol is built at Capitol Square, near the present-day Confederate Soldiers Monument. 1875 Construction is paid for in exchange for 3 million acres of public land in the Panhandle. 1881 The old limestone capitol catches re on Nov. 9, 1881. 1880 Detroit architect Elijah E. Meyers designs the new Capitol. 1882 Over 188,000 cubic feet of sunset red granite is donated for the Capitol building. 1885 The rst 12,000-pound cornerstone is laid on March 2, 1885. 1888 Over 20,000 people attend weeklong festivities to celebrate the Capitol dedication. 1983 A re breaks out on the east side and causes extensive damage. 1991 Workers restore the building’s exterior, including the metal dome and granite. 1992 Interior restorations occur, aiming to preserve the original architecture. 1993 The four-story Capitol Extension, which is almost entirely underground, opens. SOURCE: TEXAS STATE PRESERVATION BOARD COMMUNITY IMPACT 1995 The Capitol Restoration is completed. Smaller restoration projects have been completed since.
Fires, granite and a goddess: The rich history of the Texas State Capitol
BY HANNAH NORTON
The Texas State Capitol is known for its distinct pink exterior—but it is not actually pink. The Capitol is made of sunset red granite, which comes from Granite Mountain in nearby Marble Falls. When the small, original Capitol caught re in 1881, a team of contractors, led by Detroit architect Elijah E. Myers, was already working on the plans for a new statehouse. Contractors originally planned to use creamy white limestone from Convict Hill in South Austin, but found it oxidized when exposed to the air, resulting in discoloration, according to the Texas State Preservation Board. Local inmates and workers from Scotland transported over 188,000 cubic feet of granite from Granite Mountain, according to the SPB and the Texas State Historical Association. Sunset red granite was used to build the Galveston Seawall and state o ce buildings near the Capitol. A storied history The rst cornerstone in the con- struction of the Capitol was laid in 1885. The building was completed three years later. Atop the Capitol is the Goddess of Liberty. The nearly 16-foot-tall statue was likely modeled after Pallas Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, justice, and arts and crafts, said Ali James, curator of the Capitol and director of visitor services. The statue weighs about 2,000 pounds, James said, and is made out of zinc and covered with white paint and sand to emulate stone. In 1983, workers discovered
The Texas Capitol is 14.64 feet taller than the U.S. Capitol, according to the Texas State Preservation Board, which maintains and restores the Capitol building and its grounds.

The Texas Capitol is 14.64 feet taller than the U.S. Capitol, according to the SPB. The nation’s Capitol is 288 feet tall, while the Texas Capitol stands at 302.64 feet tall from ground level to the tip of the Goddess of Liberty’s star. Visiting the Capitol Over 1 million people visit the Capitol in a typical year, James said, although numbers are lower now than prepandemic. A large portion of the state’s art collection is displayed for public viewing. Historic furnishings, such as desks, benches and tables, are shown throughout the building, including in the House and Senate chambers. The Capitol is open 360 days of the year for guided tours. When the Legis- lature is in session, visitors can watch the proceedings from the galleries. “I would always want to encourage folks who are Texans or who got here as soon as they could to come on down to the Capitol and see the Legislature in action,” James said.
cracking, corrosion and missing pieces on the almost century-old goddess, due to impurities in the zinc and natu- ral deterioration. An aluminum replica of the statue was created in 1986. The original statue has been restored and is on display at the Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin. The goddess’ hand and star are at the Capitol Visitors Center. During the 68th Texas Legislature, lawmakers created the SPB, which was tasked with restoring and preserving contractors built the four-story Capitol Extension. The 667,000-square-foot space opened in 1993, and it includes o ces, conference rooms, committee rooms, an auditorium, a dining room and two levels of parking. “It really provided a great deal of additional space, because, as you can imagine, Texas and Texas govern- ment has grown exponentially since the Capitol was completed in 1888,” James said. the Capitol and its grounds.

COLLEYVILLE Increasing quality of life and keeping residents safe were two topics highlighted by Colleyville Mayor Bobby Lindamood in the State of the City. Colleyville held its State of the City on Feb. 9 at the Colleyville Center. A presentation was shown at the Colleyville Chamber of Commerce luncheon, with a public presen- tation later that night.

He also spoke on the city’s improvements with development projects, public safety, quality of life and community. “We are blessed by our amazing citizens and strong leaderships,” he said. Colleyville is entering a new phase in the city’s life cycle as it nears being built out and goes through redevelopment in some areas, Lindamood said. Several development projects were high- lighted by Lindamood, including the senior center renovation, purchasing Covenant Church to create a recreation center and installing four new pickleball courts at City Park.

Through projects such as these, he said the city’s sta is continuously looking for ways to improve the quality of life for residents. Colleyville’s gift card program and its no-new-revenue tax rate are ways the city is helping its residents, Lindamood said. He said the gift card program put dollars directly into the city’s local businesses. Each household received a $35 gift card in the summer and around the holidays to be spent at participating restaurants and retail businesses in the city.
