Demolition of the old to usher in the new will soon start in central Temple as the city approved various demolition and road projects Thursday.
Making way for a new gateway to the city was the goal of a contract authorizing the demolition of three commercial properties off North General Bruce Drive approved by the Temple City Council this week. The Council also unanimously approved seven other resolutions for a demolition and purchases of right of way during the meeting.
The demolition â part of the Interstate 35 and Temple High School Gateway Area project â will provide room for the widening of Jack White Street.
