City of Saint Jo to consider zoning change request for possible new business
The City of Saint Jo City Council will meet at 6 p.m. on Dec. 13 in Saint Jo City Hall and will consider possible zoning changes for a potential new business.
There will be discussion for a change to rezone 59.01 acres of city-owned property at the corner of U.S. Highway 82 and Field Road in the city to be changed from agricultural to commercial district. City officials have been working with developers interested in possibly bringing a Dollar General to town.
Part of this property has been leased to a local company and it also is adjacent to land used by Easy Street Shelter for its facility and behind that the city wastewater system. Cindy Castle also is scheduled to speak on behalf of the shelter at Wednesday’s meeting to discuss updates of lease land.
Other topics on the agenda include a request to place temporary signage for Windmill Grill on U.S. 82; reports and quarterly statements from the economic boards 4A and 4B; monthly financial statement and paying bills; verbal reports and minutes from the Nov. 8 and Nov. 23 meetings.

Judges have been named for the two cases involving 97th District Attorney Casey Hall, including the indictment for theft and a petition for removal as DA.
On July 11, Judge David L. Evans, presiding judge for the Eighth Administration Region of Texas, assigned E. Lee Gabriel to handle the indictment case against Hall. The judge then named Bruce McFarling for the removal petition case.
The two-term DA Hall was indicted by the Montague County Grand Jury July 15 on a charge of theft of property $2,500 to $30,000, a state jail felony. The allegations stem from reported misappropriation of state grant funds.
