Balch Springs EDC to weigh $513K for transit, splash pad resurfacing

Balch Springs’ Economic Development Corporation (Type B) will vote next week on two major spending proposals totaling $513,137 — one for public transit and another for refurbishing a popular park attraction. The meeting comes after a quiet week for city boards, with the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board holding a scheduled meeting but no minutes yet available.
