City of Victoria issued the following announcement on Dec. 8

These include the planned construction of a new splash pad; road maintenance projects, such as the Crestwood Drive reconstruction; and a recent transportation project that will allow an outside developer to invest $31 million in a new shopping center. Meetings are held at 3:30 p.m. the fourth Monday of every month.

Completed forms must be returned to the City Secretary’s Office; mailed to P.O. Box 1758, Victoria, TX 77901; faxed to 316-485-3045; or emailed to ahilbrich@victoriatx.gov.
