Operation Stand Down Central Texas has enlisted the services of Coyote Design and Build for the construction of its own facility to be located on Carpenter Street.
Coyote Design and Build broke ground and began construction on the site last week. The Copperas Cove city council approved an ordinance for the rezoning of the property back in January 2020.
Operation Stand Down Central Texas was founded by Joann Courtland and her mother, Trudy Bolton, in 2015. It started in the 500 square feet in Courtland’s garage, and it was “a few ladies with a dream of helping homeless veterans and their families in this community of Central Texas,” Courtland said.
There are plenty of safe, socially-distanced events happening this weekend to have some Easter or springtime fun in the area. Head to one of the family-friendly egg hunting events, enjoy being outside at a local farm, or check out a farmers market. More information on these and more below.
