Commissioners accept NextLink donation to expand county Christmas tree display
Summary
The court accepted a $4,500 donation from NextLink to expand and modernize the county's Christmas tree display; officials said combined donations and upgrades will produce a tree valued at over $40,000 with minimal taxpayer cost.
Parker County accepted a $4,500 donation from NextLink to expand and modernize the county Christmas tree display used for the 'Christmas on the Square' event.
The judge explained the county previously received an earlier donation of about $35,000 that funded the original tree. With the new funds and technical upgrades the county expects a larger, more durable tree that staff estimated will be worth over $40,000. The court approved acceptance of the donation unanimously.
Why it matters: The donation reduces taxpayer cost for a community display and preserves a seasonal attraction; county officials thanked community partners for support.
Next steps: Staff will coordinate installation and minor site work; commissioners noted plans to capture photos and video of the installation for community outreach.
