Hey Friends,
Big news out of North Texas Regional Airport this week, and it's the kind of story I love sharing with you. A six-month shutdown sounds rough on paper, but once you hear what's behind it, you'll understand why city leaders are calling it a win for Sherman's future.
We've also got a full weekend ahead with live music at Forest Park, a free outdoor movie night, your Saturday farmers market run, and a duplex investment property that's worth a serious look if you've been thinking about adding to your portfolio.
Here's What We're Connecting You to This Week!
✅ The $3.5 million reason our airport is going dark
✅ Cas Haley, movie night, and your weekend lineup in Texoma
✅ A duplex deal in a growing Sherman neighborhood
✅ Six honest reasons I'm never leaving Sherman
✅ Fresh blooms from a local shop everyone's raving about
Sherman's Airport Is About to Go Dark, and That's a Good Thing
Sherman Municipal Airport is getting ready for its first full runway repave in decades, and that means six months of closure starting soon. Here's what's actually happening:
🛫 New runway, rebuilt from the ground up
💡 Updated LED lighting and fresh striping
💰 $3.5 million project, mostly covered by a TxDOT grant
🏙️ The city is kicking in about $350,000
Once it's done, city leaders are hoping the upgrade brings in more pilots and more visitors to Sherman. It's a small town airport getting a big city upgrade, and that's exactly the kind of growth story I track every week. This is the stuff that shapes what Sherman looks like five years from now, and it tells you a lot about where this community is headed.
