LUPE CABELLO IS ONE OF SIX NEW RESIDENTS THAT HAS ALREADY MOVED HIS FAMILY IN ON ALICE COURT, A PROJECT THAT INVOLVED MANY MONTHS OF FINANCING AND PLANNING BY SEVERAL CITY DEPARTMENTS BEFORE CONSTRUCTION BEGAN, WHICH WAS SUPERVISED BY THE GRAND PRAIRIE HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES DEPARTMENT, AND COMPLETED IN JUST FIVE MONTHS.
THIS WAS DONE NOT BY A WHOLE GROUP OF CONTRACTORS OR ANYTHING ELSE, ALL THE PIPES IN THE GROUND, THE DRAINAGE SYSTEMS THAT ARE BEHIND THESE HOUSES, THE STREETS THAT ARE HERE, ALL OF THAT WAS DONE BY CITY HANDS.
THERE'S A LOT OF CITIES WOULDN'T DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, WOULDN'T EVEN TRY, WOULDN'T WANT IT.
