City of Fayetteville Discussing Reduction of Speed Limits

The City of Fayetteville has installed a portable speed detection radar that will gather data to be submitted to the sheriff’s department. The radar will rotate to various locations throughout the city.

Discussions are taking place with TxDOT about potentially reducing the city speed limits.

G&S Grain on E. Franklin is out of business. The building, owned by Union Pacific Railroad, has been cleaned up and will be torn down. The EDC is considering various options for the site that will be advantageous to the city.

City Council adopted two resolutions. Resolution 202504-21-01 authorizes certification of a Cultural Arts District for the City of Fayetteville and Resolution 2025-04-21-03 addresses multiple civil rights policies.

We’re creating a unique space that’s an extension of Sown With Seed,” stated Zator. “In the shop, we offer botanicals, organic products and herbal classes that introduce healing properties derived from a variety of teas and oils.
