Study Aims to Align Military, Community Missions at Redmond Taylor Army Heliport

Joining Forces, a Regional Joint Land Use Study (JLUS), will identify and recommend communication and land use strategies that support continued military capabilities.  The cities and counties surrounding Redmond Taylor Army Heliport, located on the northwest side of Mountain Creek Lake, will work with the facility to plan and carry out specific actions that will promote compatible community and economic growth.

Insight and input from Grand Prairie and Dallas residents are vital to the success of the study around Redmond Taylor Army Heliport. Short surveys at www.JoiningForcesNTX.org ask about compatibility issues like noise, safety/security, environmental resources and communication/coordination as well as how residents would like to learn about and stay involved in the study.

Land uses that can be incompatible when they occur near a military installation include urban growth, energy development, the presence of wildlife or water and land uses that restrict air space or create a threat to security.

The regional study coordinated by the North Central Texas Council of Governments also includes communities and military operations for Naval Air Station Fort Worth, Joint Reserve Base, Fort Wolters Training Center in Mineral Wells and Camp Maxey Training Center near Paris. Installations are nominated for a JLUS by the military, and the study is funded by the Department of Defense Office of Economic Adjustment.

To learn more and provide input, visit www.JoiningForcesNTX.org or contact staff at 817-695-9240 or info@JoiningForcesNTX.org.

Also sent with the above information is a factsheet and a map of the area in question:

City of GP – Don’t Flush Wipes!!

Posted on by Don Ryan

Keep Wipes Out of City Wastewater System

Do you use wet wipes that claim they are flushable? These wipes are actually not flushable and can cause harm to plumbing and wastewater systems because they do not disintegrate after flushing. Instead, they wrap around other flushed wipes and debris, damage pumps at the wastewater plant, and have to be removed from wastewater screens and lift stations.

Wipes also create clogs in main wastewater lines and customer lines that have to be manually removed because fats, oil and grease deposit on them.

Toilet paper disintegrates almost immediately, but the strong-fiber wipes cause havoc in city wastewater lines and at wastewater plants.

When using flushable wipes, please throw them into the trash, and do not flush them down the toilet. This keeps the wastewater lines clear and helps avoid costly clog removal at your home and the wastewater plant.

More Damage to West Creek Fence

Posted on by Don Ryan - 1 Comment

20161031_074644Once again, someone has caused significant damage to the fence on West Creek Lane. There is no possible way that whoever did this did not notice they hit the fence, or maybe they did know but did not care.

The HOA spent over $7000 putting a new fence along the entire length of West Creek Lane, and it seems some folks want it to look like the old fence that was literally falling down.

This damage happened over the weekend. If you know who did this, please call the Office. They need to pay to have it fixed!
