Ladies and Gentlemen of the Council,
The Town of Crossroads is no longer a small town, and we must embrace this change. We have seen tremendous growth all around us over the years, and it’s time for the Town to take advantage of this growth.
The proposed Market Square Project offers its citizens not only the necessities that it has been lacking for years, but also what is required to support and sustain such growth. The population around the Town has exploded in recent years, yet our Town has continued to be a void for decent restaurants, entertainment venues and quality grocery alternatives.
Crossroads citizens are forced to travel to other cities if they want to sit down at a restaurant, or take their families to any sort of entertainment venue or purchase high quality groceries. A vote for the Market Square project would encourage citizens to stay local, spend local and travel less when we have everything we need in our own backyard.
We encourage our councilmembers to embrace the growth that this economy has afforded us. Although most of us moved to Crossroads to get out of the big cities, there is no turning back at this point and we need to position the Town for future success. Growth is literally happening all around us. If we do not accept this project, the grocery stores, entertainment venues and restaurants will go right down the road, and the Town of Crossroads will receive no financial benefits from such businesses. We must take advantage of what is being offered to us, especially when we consider that no other developer will offer the Town the same incentives that the Market Square developer, who is local to the community, has proposed to the Town.
We highly encourage you, our elected councilmembers, to consider the enormous benefits that this project would bring to the Town of Crossroads and its citizens.
Sincerely,
Citizens of Crossroads

The Town Council continues to stall while our tax dollars bleed into neighboring cities. I am tired of seeing our leadership ignore the obvious need for local development while they pretend we are still a sleepy village.

There are no hotels along the 380 corridor in this area. We also need some higher end eating establishments and I think these pad sites will give those corporations the high end development they require to move here. Since there are already lower income apartments surrounding Cross Roads it would be nice to see some higher end apartment style living for seniors who wish to downsize and stay in the Cross Roads area. This is the 380 Corridor that connects I-35 to the North Dallas Tollway to I-75 in the DFW area, in spite of many of us moving here to "Live in the Country" THIS IS NO LONGER THE CONTRY!
The City needs to do its due diligence to understand the potential impacts and work with the developer to minimize them on the limited resources of our small town. That said, I support this the pursuit of this opportunity for Cross Roads — as we work to find ways to close the budgetary gaps with sales tax revenue, rather than additional burdens on property owners.
Looks great. What is the build-out timeframe? This is a logical next step for development in Cross Roads.
I am all for this. This place has been dry and I have to go to prosper and Frisco to have fun...
Seldom does a project of this quality present itself for development, yet Cross Roads has the opportunity to say yes, and become the benefactor.
Strongly support and urge the proposed changes to accommodate development that will benefit all the citizens of Cross Roads.
I support this great opportunity! It is time for our small town to grow and develop to become a nice and beautiful one! It will bring in the jobs and the revenue! Let's do it!
