Cleburne Economic Development Manager Grady Easdon, in delivery the final quarterly update for last year, quipped that 2020 was a very different year to say the least.
Despite the roller coaster of economic downturn, widespread shut downs and a worldwide pandemic still ongoing Cleburne fared fairly well all things considered, Easdon added.
“ I think we all still have some fear of the unknown,” Easdon said.“ But I think there’ s also a feeling of measured optimism for this coming year and that we’ re cautiously optimistic about what 2021 holds and feel pretty good about where we are right now given the circumstances.”
Easdon delivered his update during Tuesday night’ s meeting of the Cleburne City Council.
Several business opened last year including Harbor Freight Tools, McAlister’ s Deli and Chick-fil-A and more including
Aldi’ s Grocery Store, are on the way.
The pandemic had little effect on home building last year, which, as in recent years past, remains robust, Easdon said.

Even w ith only certain groups eligible to receive the vaccine shortages continue to pose a challenge, Moore said.
“ It’ s not a matter of local governments not being proactive,” Moore said.“ It’ s a matter of we’ re not getting vaccines.”
