Hedley approving new street addresses

By Roger Estlack, Clarendon Enterprise

The Hedley Board of Aldermen approved new street address ranges when they met on May 5.

The address changes are being made to bring the city into compliance with the Panhandle Regional 911 Network with the assistance of the Panhandle Regional Planning Commission.

The board also submitted its top three choices for renaming three streets on the south side of US 287. The thoroughfare now known as South 3rd Street will be renamed Little St., Mesquite St., or A Drive. South 4th Street will be called Muddy Rd., Sage St., or B Drive; and South 6th Street will be dubbed Weatherly Drive, Yucca St., or C Drive.

In other business, the board amended the budget and voted to join the Association of Rural Communities in Texas on a one-year trial basis. The aldermen also adopted a resolution joining the lawsuit to intervene in Valor Telecom’s attempt to enact new Extended Local Calling surcharges.
