yearly efforts to solicit money from businesses to keep the program going They will be glad to help us
when we get our Board in place and we're ready to start our program They partnered with TXDOT on the
program and have had a very successful program They do them plantings in the fall and they Just drop the
seeds on the ground, they do not use a sceder.
The Board will have to contact TXDOT in McKinney and see if we will need a vanance for the
height restrictions that are regulated in certain areas. We have an interest in at least five or six different
varieties of wildflowers to start with
We also need a snappy logo to go along with the program. We should all be trying to think of a logo
so we can vote on it once the new board is in place We will work with parks and recreation to get their
approval so that once the plantings are done on SH75 we can do medians, parks and hike and bike trails
