A proposed subdivision in Precinct 3 prompted an unusual legal debate as members of the Young County Commissioners Court questioned whether the county has authority to require a plat for a 200-acre tract off RG Loop Road north of Jeffrey Road.
The Young County Commissioners Court signaled its support last week for participating in the City of Olney’s industrial Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone, or TIRZ, tentatively approving the concept and inviting Olney Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Tom Parker to return with formal documents for signature at the court’s next regular meeting.
The Olney City Council is moving closer to approving a revised and simplified building permit fee structure, a step city leaders say is increasingly urgent as development interest begins to accelerate.
The Olney High School Lady Cubs hosted district rival Archer City Ladycats and came away with a hardfought loss, 46-32. This is a rebuilding year with no seniors on the roster. As the Lady Cubs close their season, look for next season to offer a more seasoned and skilled team. Fight on, Lady Cubs!

The Olney High School Cubs hosted the Archer City Wildcats for Senior Night and came away with a big win. The Wildcats are longtime friendly rivals from just north of Olney who in the past have given the Cubs a lot of losses, but this is a new era for the Cubs with a top-rated Head Basketball Coach Eric Symank and a team full of weapons who all play for each other.
