KILLEEN, Texas — Killeen City Manager Kent Cagle, Fire Chief Jim Kubinski and Public Works Director Danielle Singh joined the Greater Killeen Chamber of Commerce Thursday for a conversation with the public about how the city weathered the recent winter storm. They also discussed major public safety, infrastructure and service delivery impacts that challenged the staff and the public.
One of the most critical things being done right now is fixing the streets and repairing large potholes. Singh and Cagle said the winter storm caused $40 million in damages to roads. If you add on the $120 million dollars the city previously earmarked for street replacements, streets that needed to be removed or replaced, they could possibly pay $160 million dollars to fix the streets.
