?? You're watching the State of the City: Mini Series ?? This Episode is all about Red Oak's Infrastructure! In 2024, Red Oak made significant strides in strengthening our infrastructure. Key upgrades included the Methodist Pump Station Storage Tank, adding 1.5 million gallons of water capacity, along with improvements to the Fox Hollow Lift Station. Roads like Red Oak Rd, Harmony Way, Valley View, and Tom Driver were also enhanced following the Pavement Management Plan, creating safer, more durable roads for everyone. Looking ahead to 2025, we'll begin the Daubitz Elevated Storage Tank project, doubling the City's elevated water storage. The Pierce Street Sewer Main project will replace outdated lines to support future growth, and over 8 lane-miles of roads will be improved. while TxDOT's Loop 9 and Ovilla Road bridge projects will continue. This is all to ensure Red Oak stays connected and ready for the future! #RedOakTX #InfrastructureDevelopment #StateOfTheCity
