Councilwoman Ramos asks for Southside community input

District 3 Councilwoman Jennifer Ramos wrote an op-ed in today's Express-News,

"Now as we approach a new bond cycle, I am looking forward to working with the residents of my district in addressing the needs, challenges and possibilities that exist for the Southside.

The 2012 bond is estimated to surpass the previous bond package with a total of $596 million to be used for large-scale, multi-phased projects that would otherwise take decades to fund and construct."

The former HEB site on Presa Avenue will soon be home to the District 5 One-Stop Senior Center. A Dollar General will also be moving into the building and will have a section of groceries. District 5 Councilman David Medina and District 3 Councilwoman Jennifer Ramos hope to build on this investment in our community to further develop the area and bring in other businesses that will serve all residents in the surrounding neighborhoods. Members of the Roosevelt Park Neighborhood Association addresssed City Council to convince them of the need for this facility in our area.
