DTX-PLS: Impact 9/12/2025

Portions of the Pecan Hollow Golf Course are set to undergo an erosion control project following council approval.

The details: As a part of ongoing streambank stabilization projects in Plano, the project will address areas impacted by erosion along Rowlett Creek and the golf course. The project will relocate a trail further from the creek and areas impacted by erosion, while stabilizing two locations along Rowlett Creek near the golf course green, according to city documents.

Some context: Plano has been working to address streambank erosion issues across the city after a 2022 study identified more than 3,000 erosion locations. Of those evaluated, 42 locations were rated “critical” in the study, indicating a high need for erosion protection, and require repairs that would cost about $10 million.

NRG Adventure Park is set to open a new location in east Plano, according to its website.
Zooming in: The facility will be located near the intersection of U.S. 75 and Parker Road and go in the retail space formerly occupied by a St. Vincent de Paul thrift store. NRG Adventure Park is an indoor adventure park that includes climbing areas, ziplines, ropes courses and more.

Gov. Greg Abbott issued a Sept. 10 executive order aimed at prohibiting hemp-derived THC products from being sold to minors, which he called “safety for kids, freedom for adults.” The order comes one week after a special legislative session ended without Abbott and state lawmakers agreeing on legislation to ban or restrict THC sales.

The details: Abbott’s order directs the Texas Department of State Health Services and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission to “immediately begin the rulemaking process” on new THC regulations, including:

• Limiting THC sales to people 21 years and older
• Requiring THC retailers to check all customers’ IDs
• Expanding testing and labeling requirements for THC products
• Raising manufacturer and retailer licensing fees to cover costs of enforcing the new rules
• Enhancing monitoring by state and local law enforcement
