... The city officials voted to pay April bills, and approved the second and final reading of a resolution concerning the Mexia Economic Development Corporation (EDC) expenditures over $10,000. This paves the way for the "final okay" for the EDC to give $30,000 to R&D Trailers and Equipment in its expansion project. Tommy Tucker, EDC Executive Director, was on hand to make the presentation. City Manager Carolyn Martin also reminded Council and audience that the R&D Trailer firm had been annexed into the City of Mexia.

Nice touch by the Mexia Economic Development Corporation (EDC) - the Mexia name has been issued in Boston, Massachusetts. Hopefully, a trip by some local EDC members, along with families from Fairfield and Buffalo EDCs, will result in some Massachusetts industries and businesses locating in Mexia, as well as Freestone and Leon counties. Representing Mexia EDC in Boston ere Executive Director Tommy Tucker and wife Debra, and Troy Miller (EDC Board Member amd Mexia City Councilman) and wife Jan. Nice to have 'em safely returned to good old Mexia.
