(Cresson, Tx) – Cresson is getting a wastewater treatment plant funded largely by developer Ike Thomas, according to Cresson Mayor Teena Putteet Conway.

According to the Hood County News, Conway told the City Council that the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has issued a permit for the plant.  Since Cresson levies no property taxes, the city must depend on sales tax revenues to fund city operations.  Conway said, “We’re very fortunate to have someone that wants to sponsor the wastewater treatment plant.

The plant will be on city property and is being built to allow for further development in Cresson.   Thomas donated the land.
