What’s on the May 6 ballot?

Olney voters have one last shot on May 6 at casting ballots for contested City Council and school board posts, and on whether to change how the City spends economic development funds. Residents who live within the city limits will vote on three City Council positions, two school board seats, and a ballot proposition. Those who live outside city limits will vote only on the school board races, Young County Elections Supervisors Kaitlyn Mosely said.

County, OHH, OISD OK Crombie’s Olney block bid

County Commissioners, Olney Hamilton Hospital, and school trustees cleared the way for Olney’s new housing surge by approving the sale of 10 foreclosed lots to a Jacksboro developer seeking to build homes in the northeast corner of town. The Commissioners, the hospital, and the Olney Independent School District Board of Trustees had to approve the $52,000 sale of the lots, some of which had been on the City’s foreclosure rolls for more than a decade, because of the back taxes owed them. The buyer is Crombie Properties of Olney LLC, owned by Kara Crombie of Jacksboro. Mrs. Crombie has rehabbed homes and historic buildings in Jacksboro.
