ELLIS COUNTY – For local commuters, the short-lived pleasure of a smooth, seamless drive along the Loop 9 corridor from Red Oak to I-45 is officially a thing of the past. What once was a convenient shortcut has devolved into a heavy, truck-laden bottleneck that regularly grinds traffic to a halt.
Midlothian ISD has provided approximately five acres of land and parking to help establish this center as the new home for MISD’s swim teams to practice and compete. Submitted photo
