111 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 3, ISSUE 7 acre East Texas Regional Business Park. The fully-served park will be up and running in the next 18 months and will include enhanced landscaping to add to the city’s scenic atmosphere. That includes expanding an existing pond and cleaning up a green belt area. According to Clary, “It’s a beautiful piece of property, but we intend to make it prettier and make that a really nice asset not only to the people that work in that business park, but also to the whole community. It’s going to be a full- fledged business park and it will be a great asset for Henderson.” In all aspects of the city, Henderson is focused on creating a beautiful, functional, and vibrant community for many years to come. To ensure that’s always the case, Henderson city council is in the process of creating a comprehensive plan that will allow them to set out their goals for the next 30 years. They will include input from the community as well as local groups and government departments. “We want to be able to lay the groundwork for years to come, here in our hometown,” says Henderson City Manager, Jay Abercrombie. “We will see where the comprehensive plan takes us. I think it’s a beautiful time, the perfect time for our community to be able to get together with our leaders and with the council and our economic development corporation board and planning and zoning, along with staff to make sure we’re all cohesive and we’re thinking the same thing. This is pretty special. We’re excited to see that vision.” HENDERSON, TEXAS
