The Crandall Economic Development Corporation Board of Directors will meet Tuesday, July 14, to review its proposed fiscal year 2027 budget, receive an update on a hotel performance agreement and discuss future economic development opportunities.
The regular meeting will begin at 8:30 a.m. in the Crandall EDC Conference Room at 116 S. Main Street.
Board members are scheduled to consider recommending approval of the proposed FY 2027 EDC budget to the Crandall City Council. The board will also review and consider approving the corporation’s June 2026 financial report and minutes from its June 9 meeting.
The director’s report will include updates on recent developer meetings, the City Council’s July 15 budget workshop and a planned meeting with the Texas Municipal League executive director.
A city manager’s report will provide updates on several projects and planning efforts affecting Crandall.
The report notes that the City Council’s strategic retreat is intended to establish priorities and long-term goals for the city. Crandall’s second fiscal year 2027 budget workshop is scheduled for Wednesday, July 15, at 6 p.m. and will be open to the public.
Work is also nearing completion on the conceptual design for Lewis Park. The design is expected to support the city’s application for a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department grant and move the proposed park project closer to development.
City staff members are continuing to work with the Texas Department of Transportation, Walmart and QuikTrip on agreements needed to fund improvements at the FM 741 intersection. The planned work includes turn lanes and a traffic signal. The city’s goal is to have the agreements completed by February 2027 so construction can remain on schedule.
