Black Cemetery Improvements
The city is moving forward with CDBG-funded parking lot and walkway improvements for the historical Carrollton Black Cemetery. Council members raised questions about ensuring no unmarked graves outside the fence are disturbed during construction.
Nob Hill Infrastructure
A massive water main break has flooded Carrollton streets, turning them into dangerous ice rinks during this freezing weather. Expect major traffic delays and potential water outages while crews scramble to fix the pipes.
Downtown Revitalization
Carrollton is finally getting its downtown act together, blending cool historic vibes with the modern shops we actually want to visit. It’s a smart move that’s putting the city on the map without losing the neighborhood’s original soul.
Public Health Advisory
Carrollton just dropped a boil water notice for the city's commercial and industrial zones. If you work in those areas, you'll need to boil your water before using it, but your home tap is totally fine.
Cybersecurity Breach
Carrollton’s city systems just got hit by a cyber attack, which means your personal info might be at risk and city services could be glitchy for a while. Keep an eye on official updates so you know if your data was caught in the crossfire.
Anti-discrimination Ordinance
Carrollton just updated its workplace rules to explicitly protect LGBTQ+ city employees from discrimination. It’s a big step toward making sure everyone working for the city gets treated fairly regardless of who they are.
Immigration Agreement
Carrollton residents and activists are leaning hard on the city council to scrap a controversial immigration partnership because they worry it ruins trust with local police. If you live around here, this debate is a big deal for how local law enforcement operates and treats the community.
