JARRETT WHITENER/COMMUNITY IMPACT
FEATURED IMPACT NOW OPEN Last September, Selma work crews broke ground on a new addition to City Hall, 9375 Corporate Dr., Selma, to memorialize rst responders and veterans. After nine months the Heroes Memorial opened. The cost of the project was an about $800,000 that was funded through the capital construction fund from the issuance of certi cates of obligation bonds in 2019. City Administrator Johnny Casias said this has been a passion project in the city. “We have had committees that talked about doing park and quality-of-life
improvements, making suggestions to City Council over the years, and one of them was a veterans memorial plaza,” Casias said. “It is something that the mayor and council are extremely proud of.” www.ci.selma.tx.us
