In honor of Veterans Day later this week, Harker Heights will host an event on Thursday, and parades are in store for Killeen and Copperas Cove this weekend.
Daily cattle drives in the Stockyards are brief, but there’s a whole day’s worth of work that goes into bringing this piece of Fort Worth history to life.
Copperas Coveâs population could skyrocket to near 50,000 within the next five to seven years, according to Development Service Director Bobby Lewis.
City Manager Ryan Haverlah briefed Lewis estimations to members of the Morning Exchange Club at Lil Tex Restaurant on Jan. 6.
If Lewis estimation holds true, the next five- to seven-year growth would indicate an increase of 33% over the current population figure.
âIn five to seven years, thatâs pretty quick for Copperas Cove,â Haverlah said. âThat may not be quick for other areas, but for Copperas Cove, that is very quick, considering that for the last 20 years, we have grown at 1% or just over 1% each year.â
