Scenes from the Roads Less Traveled

Your Economic Development Department staff has created a new feature for our residents and business owners to look at some scenes of Saginaw TX seen on the roads less traveled. This new section recognizes businesses in our "Light Industrial" and "Heavy Industrial" Zoning Districts that our citizenry might not know anything about or know that it even existed…basically recognizing our “forgotten” businesses.

Editor’s Note: While on my time off during the Christmas Holidays, I was performing a few “honey-do’s” which involved building something with wood. So, I drove to my local Home Depot. After measuring and marking, I began to cut wood and noticed a sticker on the wood. See photo above.… It was very cool to see something from our little community out in the world.
