... 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.
