Plans for a new park in downtown Prosper are moving forward.

What happened: At its Jan. 13 meeting, Prosper Town Council approved a $532,145 construction agreement with Homerun Construction LLC for Parvin Park.

Zooming in: The existing 3.5-acre park is located at 401 E. Broadway St. Once completed, park improvements will include a small playground and picnic tables, in addition to the existing small pond and open green space.

One more thing: According to the town's capital improvement program website, construction on the park was delayed from summer 2025 to allow for site plan revisions.

A new Knockouts Haircuts & Grooming location is proposed for Prosper.

What they offer: The sports-themed, full-service salon offers haircuts, coloring, waxing, massages and more.

Knockouts Haircuts & Grooming has several Dallas-Fort Worth locations, including in Plano, Denton and Frisco.

Five Republican candidates are running for a six-year term on the Texas Railroad Commission in the upcoming March 3 primary election.

The big picture: Katherine Culbert, Hawk Dunlap, Bo French, James "Jim" Matlock and Jim Wright are vying for the Republican nomination for a seat on the railroad commission. The winning Republican candidate will face Jon Rosenthal in November, and the winner of that election will begin serving on the commission in January 2027.

Rosenthal, a state representative and oilfield mechanical engineer, is running uncontested in the Democratic primary. Community Impact runs candidate Q&As for contested races only.

The context: The railroad commission regulates Texas’ oil and gas industry, according to its website, while the state's railroads are under the control of the Texas Department of Transportation and the federal government.
