GM EDITOR NOTE
FROM LEXI: As time goes on, I’ve become more fascinated with the bene ts of recycling. It’s a great way to help our planet and reduce waste in our land lls, but it can be overwhelming knowing what to recycle. You would be surprised what cannot be recycled. Our front-page story dives into the recycling process and what you need to know. I hope we all can do our part and recycle where we can. Lexi Canivel, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM CODY: Several of our annual guides are on the horizon during the next few months, and one is in this month’s edition: the private school guide. The June issue will be our annual health care guide; July will be the home guide; and August will include our public education guide. Please email gcsnews@communityimpact.com if you see issues or topics that would be interesting in the upcoming guides. Cody Thorn, EDITOR

The Texas Department of Trans- portation is seeking feedback from residents on the state’s long-range planning through 2050. Connecting Texas 2050 is a trans- portation plan that will be created through public input and technical studies. Based on this information, TxDOT will create strategies for Tex- ans to have accessible, reliable and safe transportation options, accord- ing to the TxDOT’s website. The plan will be updated every four years. In 2022, TxDOT began the planning process for Connecting Texas 2050 plan before holding a statewide virtual meeting with local in-person meetings in spring 2023. TxDOT will conduct further public meetings in fall 2023 and spring 2024 before the final plan is adopted summer 2024. The virtual meeting allows public comment on the role of transpor- tation in daily life, improvements
needed and what role transportation should play in the future. Connecting Texas 2050 is needed as Texas is one of the largest trans- portation systems in the U.S., and the population is expected to nearly double by 2050, according to TxDOT. The plan will take into consider- ation the state’s growing population, more trucks on the road due to home delivery of goods, remote work arrangements that could affect commuting patterns and an aging population that may want alternatives to driving, according to TxDOT. Texas’ transportation system may also be affected by new vehicle technologies, diversifying supply chains and economic shifts. Public comment can be submitted at www.txdot2050.com or by email to connectingtexas2050@txdot.gov. Comments must be submitted by May 31.

The long-awaited mixed-use devel- opment Carillon Parc is taking its next step forward after almost ve years of discussion and planning. Southlake City Council approved an economic development agreement between the city, the Southlake Parks Development Corp. and the developer Carillon Crown LLC on April 4. The city will invest public funds into the project through sales tax generated by

SMITH PEST & TERMITE in Southlake taxpayers’ best interests to seek an alternative site outside Carillon Parc for the much-antici- pated new library,” Hu man said in the post. John Terrell, a partner with Carillon Crown and a former mayor of Southlake, said he was excited to have a date set for the Carillon Parc groundbreaking. Within 45-60 days after the ground- breaking, Terrell said the developer plans to come back to the city with plans for the commercial portion of the project. This will include
chef-driven restaurants, a hotel and the o ce building. The project will be completed over three phases, Ortowski said. Phase 1 includes North White Chapel Boule- vard and other roadways, utilities and all infrastructure for the site. Phase 1A includes the buildings and park elements. Ortowski said phases 1 and 1A must be substantially completed by March 31, 2027, as outlined in the agreement. Phase 2 of the project mainly includes the o ce development and must be completed by Sept. 30, 2030.

Kolkhorst, R Brenham, on April 13. The bill would create a $15 billion “innovation grant” program to help local mental health centers provide early intervention and treatment for children and their families. At an April 13 news conference, Kolkhorst said mental health needs have increased signi cantly in Texas since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. She said roughly 1,000 Texans were on waitlists for forensic hospital beds, which are used for people in the criminal justice system who have mental illnesses, before the pandemic. Since then, Kolkhorst said the waitlist has “exploded to nearly 2,500.” Many state hospitals, state-supported living centers and local mental health facilities are also facing sta ng issues. The Senate passed SB 25, a nursing education bill, with a unanimous vote March 30. The bill would create scholar- ships, grants and a loan repayment program for nursing students.
