We are kicking off the final day of the North Texas Legislative Summit with a message from Gov. Greg Abbott.
An amazing company and corporate citizen. They are doing more than rebuilding a grocery store, they are rebuilding a community.
On the one-year anniversary of the tornadoes that devastated North Dallas neighborhoods, Central Market remains committed to the rebirth of our community. We will proudly reopen our Preston Royal store in April/May 2021 and are excited to welcome back our friends and neighbors. In support of public education, Central Market has made a $1 million donation to the Dallas Education Foundation to help rebuild the Dallas ISD schools lost in the storm. And as a gift to the neighborhood, we donated 50 trees to help restore the mature canopy that was a hallmark of the area.
Thanks to everyone who joined us for day one of the North Texas Legislative Summit! We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow morning. Until then, we want to know what your favorite part of today was & what you are looking forward to hearing tomorrow. #TXLege #DFW #NTX
