Update on Birdville Elementary School

Birdville Elementary School

Our work continues on Birdville Elementary School in Haltom City.

Furthermore, on Saturday, we had the roof top units set with the aid of a helicopter. It is always amazing to watch the precision of those helicopter pilots! We are also wrapping up the masonry work throughout the interior and exterior of the building.

We would like to thank Project Manager Tanner Whitson, Project Engineer Jaime Norton, and Superintendent Coy Rhine – as well as their team and subs – for their hard work. The school is looking terrific and we are on track for an August completion date.

Population Growth Continues in Texas

In the latest population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, four Texas counties ranked in the top 10 for population growth from 2015 to 2016.

Harris County saw the second largest population increase in the country. They added almost 57,000 new residents. Tarrant County ranked 5th with 35,462 new residents. Bexar County was seventh, and Dallas County added more than 29,000, coming in ninth.

Steve Murdock, head of the Hobby Center for the Study of Texas at Rice University, pointed out rapid growth in the state’s suburbs. Additionally, you can find a large amount of residents along the I-35 corridor.

Interestingly, our increasingly diverse economy in our area has allowed us to continue to grow. This is despite a downturn in the oil and gas industry.

While unemployment rates will shift up and down, analysts are predicting a strong 2017 for the Lone Star State. And we hope they are correct!
