Cleburne's redesigned website earned a national award! The website earned an Award of Excellence (third place) in the City-County Communications and Marketing Association (3CMA) Savvy Awards competition. Overall, there were more than 1,100 entries across 38 categories. Cleburne was the only Texas city named as a finalist in the website category.

Exciting news for the Cleburne Public Library! The library earned a 2024 Texas Book Festival Collections Enhancement Grant for $2,500. Funds will be used to add to the library’s juvenile nonfiction collection. The 2024 grants were given to 45 libraries statewide worth nearly $112,000.

Our latest All-Star winner is Kenny Overstreet, the City’s capital project manager. If that name sounds familiar, it may be because he also won the award in 2023 after less than a year of employment with the City of Cleburne. Now, almost two years into his position, Overstreet earned another All-Star Award for all the work he has manually done to maintain the cemeteries.
