The city says that the agreement will retain a portion of the taxable amount within the district The eventual wastewater treatment plant would allow for the separation of the current sewer contract through the City of Sherman that sees the City of Howe paying the rate of a commercial business It has yet to be determined who will own and operate the treatment facility upon completion, but the cost of sewer for citizens should be well reduced due to the extinction of the current contract

The district will also make water improvements to the development and construct a storage container for water The addition of homes will be able to reduce the water cost to Howe citizens due to the addition of homes sharing the cost.

The benefits to Howe and Howe citizens are not only the reduction of utility costs but the new opportunities that come with new developments

In a recent citizens survey, the number one want and need was indicated to be a grocery store

"In order to attract a grocer or other retail centers to improve the quality of life and bring jobs, those companies have to have a certain population criteria in order to qualify," said Howe's Economic Development Director Monte Walker "With the addition of Summit Hill and this future development, the city is getting closer to reality for those opportunities "

The residential growth that inspires the commercial growth will feed the local city's economy which will result in better streets, parks, and overall infrastructure Currently, Howe has the least amount of sales tax revenue for any city along Highway 75 or Interstate 45 from the Red River to Palmer, Texas - which is 28 miles north of Corsicana

The round of applause after the motion was passed was in part due to the finalization of hard work by many involved for many years But it also may have also been for the sudden realization that the financial opportunities that will soon begin for Howe have finally come to fruition
