Edinburg's New City Hall to Hold First Public Meeting Tonight


Took a short walk over to the new city hall that the city appropriately opened on their centennial year. I very much like the location, not only because it is a block away from my office, but because it incorporates the old Edinburg College. Tuesday, city and community leaders will come forward to participate in the maiden session of the city council in the new building.

The old city hall which sits at the corner of 10th and McIntyre will be used by the Edinburg Fire Department. My father, the original Aaron Peña, informs me that when he was a city commissioner in the early 70's they held meetings at what is now the Museum of South Texas History's old jail building.

If you are from the community come and be a part of this historic event.
