Robinson, Texas

12 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 3, ISSUE 3 ROB INSON, TEXAS Beyond Robinson’s borders, there are the Brazos River Trails along the Brazos River and beautiful Cameron Park in Waco that houses the Cameron Park Zoo. Looking to the future, Lemin shares, “There’s a real strong sense of working together as a region here, as opposed to each of us standing alone. We take advantage of what everybody has to offer and I would like to see that continue. I also want to see movement on the Robinson Business Park because that will be important for the community. Continuing to build residential developments is vital too, along with the hope of maintaining our small-town feel.” Mayor Echterling agrees, and believes positive change is in progress. He emphasizes, “Build and Grow while maintaining our small-town feel. Living in Robinson my whole life, I like the rural atmosphere while being close to regional venues. Robinson is open for business and we have plenty of space to do that. In order to push and grow we are aggressively improving our infrastructure and focusing on key areas within the city.” From Collins’ perspective, she is just glad to partner with a city like Robinson, which understands the need to expand. “That’s not the case everywhere,” she says. “This is certainly an area that is ripe for growth.”
