Yesterday, City Manager Eli Torres along with members of the Snyder City Council, DCOS, and Scurry County Commissioners visited the Aquafortus Research and Development Plant in Colorado City.

Why was this important?

Being good stewards of our community means taking the time to learn about industries that may impact Snyder and Scurry County. The visit provided an opportunity to better understand how resource intensive industries operate, how we can responsibly manage local resources, and what opportunities may exist for workforce development and economic growth right here in Snyder.

It is easy to see that as we plan for our future, education and collaboration are key. By learning from existing operations and asking questions today, local leaders can make informed decisions that help protect our resources, support our residents, and position Snyder for long term success.

What a night for Snyder!

The City of Snyder was honored to attend the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Texas Environmental Excellence Awards Banquet in Austin this past Tuesday. The night was spent acknowledging the people, partnerships, and organizations working to make communities across Texas stronger and more vibrant.

We are incredibly proud of our community and the many partners who help make Snyder such a special place to live, and work. Strong communities are built through collaboration, and it was an honor to celebrate alongside those who are making a difference.

City staff was joined by Carolyn Torres from Snyder ISD, Councilmember Sarah Jamison, Dr. Laurie Sharp of Western Texas College, and we had the opportunity to rub elbows with Texas Senate Legislative Director Jeff Waldock from Texas Senator Kevin Sparks office.

It was a wonderful evening filled with celebration, connection, and pride in the work being done to move Snyder forward.

Weather permitting (rain or high winds), the City of Snyder will begin spraying for mosquitoes at dusk on Monday, June 15. The area west of College Avenue will be sprayed on Monday, and the area east of College Avenue will be sprayed on Tuesday, June 16. The Green Hill Addition (north of Huffman Avenue), Hermleigh, Fluvanna, and Ira will be sprayed on Wednesday, June 17.

City and County officials remind residents to help control the mosquito population by cutting tall weeds, emptying containers of standing or stagnant water, removing old tires, and eliminating other areas where mosquitoes may breed.

The city plans to spray every two weeks during the summer months to help control the mosquito population.
