My Rowlett - GO TEXAN

My Rowlett

We’re so excited to announce that the City of Rowlett is officially a GO TEXAN Partner City! If you’ve never heard about this program by the Texas Department of Agriculture, then this episode is for you!

At the beginning of this episode, we sit down and chat with Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller about the GO TEXAN program and what this means for the City of Rowlett! Afterward, we chat with our new Downtown Rowlett Manager, Melinda Bartram who spearheaded this partnership to discuss why she’s excited to be a GO TEXAN partner. Melinda also shares several updates about a variety of exciting projects that are happening in Downtown Rowlett.

More information about Downtown Rowlett:

“Downtown Rowlett is growing. Steeped in history, the area was once located on the historic Bankhead Highway - the first all-weather transcontinental highway. Through its planning efforts, the City of Rowlett set out to maintain an organic feel to downtown, embracing its history while creating an urban environment. Rowlett was also one of the original Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) member cities and opened its first station in in 2012 on the Blue Line (Downtown Rowlett station), providing an optimal location for urban transit-oriented developments. The City created a Downtown Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone and Downtown Municipal Management District to help spur additional development by providing needed infrastructure improvements.”
