CVS is coming to Forney - at Highway 80 & 548, on the south side of the highway (opposite from Shafer Plaza, WalMart, etc. - between Highway 80 & the train tracks) there’s a lot of dirt being moved for the construction of a new City Bank branch; the CVS will be in that same area. This is in addition to the Walgreens that’s under construction near the Chase bank that’s also under construction not too far from Sonic & WalMart.

Another sports bar is opening in Forney, it looks like. In Mustang Crossing, in the spaces that are being finished down near the Lowe’s, behind the Autozone, a TABC notice has been posted in one of the windows concerning the application for a liquor license by a “Lucky’s Sports Grill”. In addition to Lucky’s, Overtime Sports Cafe has an ad out saying that they’ll be opening in April. Overtime is located in the Forney Center, at Highway 80 & Pinson Road, not too far from the McDonald’s.

Have you registered to vote since moving to Kaufman County? Or, are you a long-time Forney resident who needs to update their voter registration or obtain a replacement voter registration card? Great news - this Saturday, April 7th, visit the Windmill Farms Information Center between 11AM and 2PM where Kaufman County Deputy Voter Registrar’s will be present with voter registration applications. This is very important, because if you are not registered to vote in Kaufman County by this coming Thursday, April 12th, you will not be allowed to vote in the election this May, which impacts many important issues pertaining to our city and school district.

Also at the Windmill Farms information center on Saturday, at 12:30PM, the kids can join in the 10,000 Egg Easter Egg Hunt, organized by Covenant Generations Church.

Are you registered to Vote?

April 12th is the last day you can register to vote for the May 12, 2007 elections. If you have recently moved to Forney, April 12th is also the last day to turn in a new voter registration card to become registered to vote in Forney before the May 12th election.

Last week the Kaufman County Tax Office received calls from 21 Forney citizens requesting to be sworn in as a Volunteer Deputy Registrar. These registrars from Forney will be stationed around town this weekend handing out and accepting Voter Registration Applications.
