For example the medians on Bus. 77 look horrible! The palm trees are not clean and look like they havent been maintained in years. You go to San Benito and their medians are nice and clean. I dont understand why the city cannot maintain these areas and the parks better. Also the arroyo area looks very bad, this is a beautiful natural asset that Harlingen has and it needs to be maintained better. Why cant some new landscaping be added near the arroyo every year? I would like the mayor to address this issue at the next meeting he holds for the public to attend. Thanks The city really needs to concentrate on cleaning up the public areas of the city.

First and foremost, Harlingen should concentrate it's efforts to attract a 4 yr College, university that will keep students in the Harlingen - Valley area. Get a diverse commission to concentrate on getting more industry to the city.. Opening dollar stores and retail is not going to help better the community, but good decent paying jobs will not only pump dollars into the community, but will in fact get the economic development program back on track. Retail stores will pay very little compared to any industrial or commercial firm.. that will not only bring tax dollars to the community but decent paying jobs. Retail is good, but if people don't have jobs.. what good is a retail store for. All retail stores run on part time help. and pay minimum wages. The only way that Harlingen is going to do better is by attracting industrial and commercial plants.. then you can think of beautification of the city.. Beautifying the entrance of Harlingen is good, but it is and should not be priority.. if people are going to come to Harlingen let it not be for pretty trees and landscaping.. it should be to live and spend money .. that will help the community.
