Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Navarro County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Police Leadership Appointment
Corsicana just got a new interim police chief, which means we might see some fresh faces and new priorities in how local law enforcement handles things. It's a big shift that could change the vibe of community policing around town.
County Road Closures and Maintenance
The court approved closing portions of two rural county roads—Northeast County Road 10070 and Southwest County Road 0070—due to chronic flooding, lack of use, and landowner requests. They also required a road use bond for a gas pipeline project in Precinct 3 connected to data center infrastructure.
Water Conservation
Corsicana just hit Stage 1 drought restrictions because Navarro Mills Lake is running low. Expect some new rules on how you water your lawn or wash your car to help keep our supply steady.
Tax Rate Adoption
Corsicana just lowered the city's tax rate, meaning you'll likely see a small break on your property tax bill this year. It’s a rare bit of good news for your wallet as the city stays under the voter-approval threshold.
City Council Election
Councilwoman Susan Hale is stepping down, leaving an open seat on the Corsicana City Council. This is your chance to see who steps up to shape the city's future policies.
Emergency Management
There's a tornado warning for Navarro County until 5:45 p.m. today, so please find a safe spot to hunker down and keep your phone charged for alerts.
