The Eight at Tool City Park committee has updated plans for the park. The groundbreaking is scheduled for Jan. 27.

KAUFMAN COUNTY–Kaufman County Commissioners voted Dec. 19, 2023 to award funding for the State Highway 34 and US 175 project to Pavecon, an industry-leading paving contractor serving multiple states throughout the country, in the amount of $3,450,477.70.
Bids were accepted by the county Nov. 11-30, 2023. The amount bid by Pavecon is higher than the county’s engineering estimate, however, still lower than the amount budgeted for the project which will include two new roadways connecting SH 34 and US 175.
