We are thrilled to share the incredible news: the Waxahachie City Council has voted 3-2 to deny the proposed 7-Eleven gas station at the corner of Broadhead Road and Garden Valley Parkway. This is a monumental win for the residents of Buffalo Ridge and Garden Valley!

A heartfelt thank you goes out to Council Members Travis Smith, Patric Souter, and Tres Atkins for standing with us and prioritizing the health, safety, and well-being of our community. Their votes were instrumental in securing this victory.

This achievement would not have been possible without you – the dedicated residents who signed the petition, attended the hearings, and made your voices heard. Your unwavering support and advocacy showed the City Council just how much this issue mattered to our community.

Together, we:
✅ Highlighted the health risks posed by benzene and other pollutants.
✅ Presented strong legal and scientific evidence.
✅ Demonstrated the strength of our community through a powerful turnout at the hearings.

This win is proof of what we can accomplish when we come together for a common cause. Let’s continue to work toward protecting and improving our neighborhoods for future generations.

Thank you again for your commitment and support. This is your victory as much as anyone’s, and we couldn’t be prouder to stand with such an amazing community.
